Glucagon regulates its own synthesis by autocrine signaling. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2012; DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1212870110 Cite This Page : ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have shown that the cells that produce glucagon are stimulated by the hormone itself. A previous study by the same group demonstrated that this ...

Glucagon can also play a role in how amino acids (compounds that help make up muscles and tissue in your body) make glucose. And it can break down triglycerides, or fat your body stores, into fuel.

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 ...

On the other hand, low blood sugar promotes glucagon release, which raises your blood sugar levels. In individuals with diabetes, taking insulin helps decrease and manage your blood sugar after meals.
