Glucagon Receptor Antagonists: Why They Failed
Glucagon receptor antagonists lower blood sugar but cause liver fat, LDL spikes, and alpha cell hyperplasia. Why the field pivoted to dual agonists instead.
Glucagon BiologyGlucagon: The Blood Sugar-Raising Peptide
Glucagon is a 29-amino-acid peptide from pancreatic alpha cells that raises blood sugar and drives the triple agonist revolution. The full research picture.
Glucagon BiologyOxyntomodulin: The Dual Agonist Your Gut Makes
Oxyntomodulin activates both GLP-1 and glucagon receptors to cut appetite and boost energy expenditure. Here is the full research picture on this gut peptide.
