Glucagon is a peptide hormone produced from proglucagon in pancreatic α cells that has a role in the regulation of glucose metabolism.{41561} Pulsatile application of glucagon to rat hepatocytes stimulates glucose production ex vivo.{41562} 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.{41561,41563} 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.{41561}
