Risk for pancreatitis was not elevated among users of tirzepatide relative to placebo, despite the presence of elevated pancreatic enzymes.

The liver and pancreas are the main actors in glucose metabolism, but not the only ones. Muscles, adipose tissue and the brain play different roles. However, the prize for the best new actor in ...

A study on GLP1RA medications found that behavioral side effects likely do not result from direct action on GLP1R.

Ozempic and Wegovy do the same thing as GLP-1 would normally do for you — but to enable them to treat diabetes and obesity, ...

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA)-medications for type 2 diabetes and obesity that have recently been making headlines due to a rise in popularity as weight loss agents-have been ...

Scientists have discovered a possible association between popular drugs such as Ozempic and an increased risk of damage to the kidneys, pancreas and the digestive system. Weight-loss medications ...

Kaestner from the University of Pennsylvania. Glucagon, produced by alpha (α) cells in the pancreas, works in tandem with insulin to maintain blood sugar balance. When blood sugar drops too low, ...

Traditionally, blood sugar regulation has been attributed to the hormones insulin and glucagon, both produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers blood glucose by promoting its uptake into cells ...

During fasting or exercise, immune cells (red) migrate to the pancreas and stimulate glucagon-producing cells (orange) to regulate blood sugar, with cell nuclei shown in blue. “For decades ...

The research sheds new light on how this enzyme influences glucagon secretion in pancreatic alpha (α) cells, a process crucial for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. The research ...

Veiga-Fernandes and colleagues reported on their findings in Science, in a paper titled “Neuronal-ILC2 interactions regulate pancreatic glucagon and glucose homeostasis.” In their report the ...
