A K ATP channel-dependent pathway within alpha cells regulates glucagon release from both rodent and human islets of Langerhans.
Glucagon, secreted from pancreatic islet alpha cells, stimulates gluconeogenesis and liver glycogen breakdown. The mechanism regulating glucagon release is debated, and variously attributed to neuronal control, paracrine control by neighbouring beta cells, or to an intrinsic glucose sensing by the a...
