Glucagon is a peptide hormone produced from proglucagon in pancreatic α cells that has a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism.1 Pulsatile application of glucagon to rat hepatocytes stimulates glucose production ex vivo.2 It also stimulates glucose output from perfused rat livers via increases in gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis and decreases in glycolysis as well as increases plasma glucose levels in rats.1,3 Glucagon secretion is suppressed in response to food intake in normal rats and humans but is maintained or elevated in humans with type 2 diabetes.1
