Eighteen hospitalized male diabetic patients, thirty to sixty-nine years of age, were studied. The known duration of the diabetes in the group ranged from one to twenty-five years. All patients ...

A lab-designed protein mimicking both insulin and glucagon has shown promising results for controlling blood sugar in Type 1 diabetes The formulation may not require ...

Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine have discovered a new way to regulate blood glucose levels using a lab-designed protein, possibly opening the door to a new treatment avenue ...

The new 12-month project extends a prior two-year award for which Habegger studied mechanisms of glucagon, Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and ...

Patients with type 2 diabetes secrete not only too little insulin but also too much glucagon, which contributes to poor blood glucose control. Patients with type 2 diabetes secrete not only too little ...

Glucagon raises the blood glucose concentration by mobilizing hepatic glycogen stores through activation of liver phosphorylase. Because crystalline glucagon is rapidly inactivated once it enters the ...
