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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing β-cell mass requires additional stimulation for adaptation to secretory demand.
TL;DR: In high-fat diet-exposed mice, an increase in endogenous β-cell mass confers increased potentiation of in vivo glucose-stimulated rise in circulating insulin in response to acute pharmacologic treatment with the incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist exendin-4.
