TL;DR: It is shown that glucagon stimulates via cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling hepatic production of the neuropeptide kisspeptin1, which acts on β cells to suppress GSIS, and this indicates a hormonal circuit between the liver and the endocrine pancreas in glycemia regulation and suggests in T2DM a sequential link between hyperglucagonemia via hepatic kisspe leptin1 to impaired insulin secretion.
