On day 1, GLP-1 was infused to stimulate endogenous insulin release and suppress endogenous glucagon. On days 2–5, pancreatic endocrine clamps were performed using somatostatin infusions of ...
Traditionally, blood sugar regulation has been attributed to the hormones insulin and glucagon, both produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers blood glucose by promoting its uptake into cells ...
“Of central importance for a novel T2D drug is that it targets the key islet dysfunctions that underlie hyperglycaemia — that is, impaired insulin secretion, inappropriately high glucagon ...
In addition to impaired insulin secretion, type 2 diabetic patients also have elevated levels of glucagon, which worsens hyperglycemia by increasing glucose production by the liver. Type 2 ...
