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 ...

By adding glucagon to the mix, GLP-1 and GIP end up neutralizing its glucose-enhancing effect, leaving the remaining functionalities of all three hormones working together to enhance weight loss.

In mice studies, the drug, which activated receptors of the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon hormones, caused notable weight loss. But Novo shelved the therapy.

They discovered that mice missing a type of immune cell called ILC2 couldn’t produce enough glucagon—the hormone that raises blood sugar—and their glucose levels dropped too low.

The hormone glucagon, which is produced in the pancreas, helps the liver turn stored sugar into energy. Normally, insulin and glucagon work together to regulate blood sugar levels.
