Research project funded by NIDDK to study the cooperative role of glucagon and insulin in hepatic glucose metabolism, aiming to improve understanding and identify therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases.
Description
This project hypothesizes that glucagon and insulin co-secretion controls hepatic glucose metabolism to facilitate glucose reaching peripheral tissues before storage in the liver. Successful completion will enhance understanding of hepatic glucose regulation and identify potential therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases.
