Scientists have gene-hacked mice to produce their own Ozempic-like enzymes, paving a path for humans to do so themselves one ...

We report the efficacy of a new peptide with agonism at the glucagon and GLP-1 receptors that has potent, sustained satiation-inducing and lipolytic effects. Selective chemical modification to ...

Discover MIT's innovative implant that automatically delivers glucagon to treat hypoglycemia, offering a lifesaving solution for diabetics.

A new study led by Ananda Basu, M.D., used novel non-radioactive, stable glucagon tracers for the first time to characterize glucagon metabolism in humans with and without Type 1 diabetes ...

WebMD explains how the hormone glucagon helps balance your blood sugar and treat hypoglycemia.

In a recent article published in Science, researchers reviewed clinical studies on the advantages of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) medicines beyond glycemic and weight control.

“These results provide new insights into glucagon biology and suggest that mitochondrial calcium transport, mediated by INSP3R1, may represent a novel target for therapies that aim to reverse NAFLD ...

Because glucagon in animals has positive inotropic and chronotropic effects in the presence of beta-adrenergic blockade, catecholamine depletion or full digitalization, its cardiovascular effects i ...

The increase in glucagon then signals the liver to release glucose. “When we blocked these cytokines, glucagon levels dropped, proving they are essential for maintaining blood sugar levels”.

Glucagon, a hormone best known for promoting blood sugar production in the liver, also appears to play a key role in maintaining kidney health. When UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers ...

While wholesale costs for glucagon skyrocketed over the past decade, out-of-pocket costs haven't increased by much, researchers reported. The cost of unmixed glucagon increased 192% from 2010 to ...
