Screening of Metabolism-Disrupting Chemicals on Pancreatic α-Cells Using In Vitro Methods

Metabolism-disrupting chemicals (MDCs) are endocrine disruptors with obesogenic and/or diabetogenic action. There is mounting evidence linking exposure to MDCs to increased susceptibility to diabetes. Despite the important role of glucagon in glucose homeostasis, there is little information on the e...
