The action of GLP-l controlling blood glucose and body weight has led to the development of several GLP-l receptor (GLP-1R) agonists for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus4 and obesity.5"7 In addition to its peripheral effects, GLP-l is an important signaling molecule in the brain. ...

Glucagon is secreted in response to a variety of metabolic signals such as changes in blood glucose concentrations, certain amino acids, perhaps free fatty acids, and in response to stress (e.g., activation of the sympathetic nervous system). In humans, blood glucose levels are reciprocally corr...
Glucose, glycogen, and glucagon all help power your body, but they have different roles. Whereas glucose is found in your blood, glycogen is found mainly in your liver and muscle cells. Glucose is the basic unit of fuel for your cells, while glycogen is a collection of many glucose molecul...
Glucose is needed as a steady source of fuel for cells to function. The food is broken down into different nutrient components, including glucose. The liver and muscle cells store the additional glucose produced by the body as glycogen. When the body requires more energy, enzymes carry out gly...
Exocrine is part of pancreas, which makes powerful enzymes to digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. The enzymes normally are created and carried to the duodenum in an inactive form, and then activated as needed. Endocrine part produces the hormones, insulin and glucagons, and release them ...
