Abstrakt: | Glucagon receptor (GCGR) agonists cause hyperglycemia but also weight loss. However, GCG-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R)/GCGR mixed agonists do not exhibit the diabetogenic effects often attributed to GCGR activity. Thus, we sought to investigate the effect of glucagon agonism on insulin action and glucose homeostasis. Acute GCGR agonism induced immediate hyperglycemia, followed by improved glucose tolerance and enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Moreover, acute GCGR agonism improved insulin tolerance in a dose-dependent manner in both lean and obese mice. Improved insulin tolerance was independent of GLP1R, FGF21, and hepatic glycogenolysis. Moreover, we observed increased glucose infusion rate, disposal, uptake, and suppressed endogenous glucose production during euglycemic clamps. Mice treated with insulin and GCGR agonist had enhanced phosphorylation of hepatic AKT at Ser 473 ; this effect was reproduced in isolated mouse primary hepatocytes and resulted in increased AKT kinase activity. These data reveal that GCGR agonism enhances glucose tolerance, in part, by augmenting insulin action, with implications for the use of GCGR agonism in therapeutic strategies for diabetes.
