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 ...

G-protein coupled receptors regulate hormone secretions in the pancreas. Learn how the complex signaling features of these receptors are illuminating diabetes research. Diabetes results from ...

In addition to being the main source of energy, glucose is utilized in other pathways, such as glycogen and lipid ... of the hormones insulin and glucagon. How do such hormones influence the ...

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, while ...

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 ...
