Target Information
Glucagon is a 29-amino acid polypeptide hormone produced by the A cells of the endocrine pancreas. Its main target is the liver, where it promotes glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and ketogenesis. In hamster models, glucagon secretion paradoxically increases at high glucose concentrations, independent of KATP channels, suggesting complex regulatory mechanisms. Diabetic Chinese hamsters exhibit elevated pancreatic glucagon content and dysregulated secretion, contributing to metabolic disturbances. Glucagon also supports energy adaptation during daily torpor, with Djungarian hamsters maintaining stable blood glucose levels despite metabolic downregulation.
