[HTML][HTML] Glucagon acutely regulates hepatic amino acid catabolism and the effect may be disturbed by steatosis

M Winther-Sørensen, KD Galsgaard, A Santos… - Molecular …, 2020 - Elsevier
Objective Glucagon is well known to regulate blood glucose but may be equally important
for amino acid metabolism. Plasma levels of amino acids are regulated by glucagon-…

Disruption of glucagon receptor signaling causes hyperaminoacidemia exposing a possible liver-alpha-cell axis

KD Galsgaard, M Winther-Sørensen… - American Journal …, 2018 - journals.physiology.org
Glucagon secreted from the pancreatic alpha-cells is essential for regulation of blood glucose

The liver–α-cell axis in health and in disease

MM Richter, KD Galsgaard, E Elmelund, FK Knop… - Diabetes, 2022 - Am Diabetes Assoc
Glucagon and insulin are the main regulators of blood glucose. While the actions of insulin
are extensively mapped, less is known about glucagon. Besides glucagon’s role in glucose …
