If it starts to go too low, glucagon normally kicks in to prevent hypoglycemia.

Now, the same team have shown that glucagon can also stimulate its own synthesis.

The mice had no insulin or glucagon action, but they did not develop diabetes.
From the sciencedaily.com
The level of insulin in circulation is low and the level of glucagon is very high.

When glucagon was suppressed in mice, the hormone insulin became unimportant.

The idea was to explore the role of insulin in regulating glucagon secretion.

The alpha cell makes a hormone that works opposite to insulin, it's called glucagon.

- A hormone secreted by the pancreas; stimulates increases in blood sugar levels in the blood (thus opposing the action of insulin)
- Glucagon is a hormone, secreted by the pancreas, that raises blood glucose levels. Its effect is opposite that of insulin, which lowers blood glucose levels. The pancreas releases glucagon when blood glucose levels fall too low. ...
- A hormone produced by the alpha cells in the pancreas. It raises blood glucose. An injectable form of glucagon, available by prescription, may be used to treat severe hypoglycemia.
- A polypeptide hormone secreted by the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans in response to hypoglycemia. Can be given as a intramuscular injection to treat severe hypoglycemia.
- Produced when not enough glucose is in the blood.Gets glucose out of cells and into the blood from the liver. Emitted by pancreas.
- Hormone that promotes release of sugar from the liver to raise the level of blood sugar
- Is produced by pancreatic alpha (A) cells in response to a drop in plasma glucose concentration; the effects of glucagon are opposite to those of insulin. Glucagon stimulates the breakdown of glycogen and the production of new glucose (gluconeogenesis) in the liver. It ... (100 of 22655 words)
- The protein hormone secreted by alpha-cells of the pancreas which plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism.
- A hormone. It is important in controlling the level of sugar within the blood. It stimulates liver cells to release glucose.
