Popis: We examined the role of Gcg on β-cell function under normal and high glucose conditions. GcgNull mice had decreased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, increased β-cell mass, and partial protection against STZ-induced hyperglycemia. Expression of Gcg within the pancreas normalized these endpoints. Intestinal expression of Gcg only normalized β-cell mass and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Increased β-cell mass in GcgNull mice likely compensated for decreased insulin secretion normalizing physiological glucose levels and conferring some protection after STZ-induced diabetes
