Reduced somatostatin signalling leads to hypersecretion of glucagon in mice fed a high-fat diet

Reduced somatostatin signalling leads to hypersecretion of glucagon in mice fed a high-fat diet

Objectives: Elevated plasma glucagon is an early symptom of diabetes, occurring in subjects with impaired glucose regulation. Here, we explored alpha-cell function in female mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Female mice expressing the Ca2+ indicator GCaMP3 specifically in alpha-cells were fed...
