Objective. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has many effects on glucose homeostasis, and GLP-1 receptors are broadly represented in many tissues including the brain. Recent research in rodents ...

Dr. Avrahami-Tzfati highlighted the study's broader implications: "Our findings show that the enzyme G6PC2 helps control glucagon release by sensing glucose levels in α cells. Therefore, this ...

"Overall, metabolic responses to glucagon stimulation in individuals with type 1 diabetes are comparable to those in healthy ...

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 ...

Objective—Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) exerts beneficial antidiabetic actions via effects on pancreatic β- and α-cells. Previous studies have focused on the improvements in β-cell function ...

The liver and pancreas are the main actors in glucose metabolism, but not the only ones. Muscles, adipose tissue and the brain play different roles. However, the prize for the best new actor in ...
