A new study has uncovered a critical role for the enzyme Glucose-6-phosphatase 2 (G6PC2) in regulating blood sugar levels. The research sheds new light on how this enzyme influences glucagon secretion ...

Findings suggest targeting neuro-immune pathway could lead to strategies for managing diabetes, obesity or some types of ...

In contrast, alpha cells secrete glucagon in response to ... and amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) also stimulate glucagon release, while insulin and free fatty acids inhibit its ...

New study shows that the gene G6PC2 plays an important role in regulating glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. It helps set the point ...

Israeli and American researchers uncovered the role of a specific enzyme in managing blood sugar levels in a study that opens up new therapeutic possibilities for people with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 ...

Insulin lowers blood glucose by promoting its uptake into cells, while glucagon raises it by signalling the liver to release glucose from stored sources. Veiga-Fernandes and his team suspected there ...

Beta-cell imaging is an ... which regulates blood sugar levels. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1): A hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon release, playing a key role ...
