). For example, following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, gastric banding or sleeve gastronomy, there is an increase in the secretion of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) ( Laferrere 2016 , Meek et al. 2016 , Clemmensen et al. 2017 ), which is known not

Introduction The gene that encodes glucagon, namely the proglucagon gene (gcg), was isolated from rodents and humans in the early 1980s ( Bell et al . 1983 a , b , Lopez et al . 1983 , Heinrich et al . 1984 , Irwin 2001 ). The analysis of gcg

effect of GH on IGF-I production. Insulin, thyroid hormones and low concentrations of glucocorticoids potentiate GH-stimulated IGF-I mRNA expression, whereas glucagon and high concentrations of glucocorticoids inhibit basal or GH-stimulated IGF

, hormones secreted from specific organs are important mediators of these adaptive responses through autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine actions. For example, insulin and glucagon are well-known adaptive hormones that control whole-body glucose balance in

-fasted concentrations of insulin and glucagon and used western blot analysis to temporally monitor PrP Sc infection of the pancreas. Our second objective was to determine whether prion–strain-specific alterations in body weight are accompanied by changes in feed intake

Introduction Glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP2) is a 33 amino acid proglucagon-derived peptide produced by a subset of enteroendocrine cells (L-cells) residing within the epithelium of the small and large intestine ( Yusta et al . 2000 ). GLP2 is
