Ablation of the Glucagon Receptor Gene Increases Fetal Lethality and Produces Alterations in Islet Development and Maturation

Although glucagon (GLU) plays a pivotal role in glucose homeostasis, its role in the regulation of fetal growth and maturation is poorly understood. These issues were examined in a line of mice with a global deletion of the GLU receptor (Gcgr(−/−)), which are characterized by lower blood glucose lev...
