Lower blood glucose, hyperglucagonemia, and pancreatic α cell hyperplasia in glucagon receptor knockout mice

Glucagon, the counter-regulatory hormone to insulin, is secreted from pancreatic α cells in response to low blood glucose. To examine the role of glucagon in glucose homeostasis, mice were generated with a null mutation of the glucagon receptor (Gcgr(−/−)). These mice display lower blood glucose lev...
