Glucagon analogs show promise as components of next-generation, multi-target, anti-obesity therapeutics. The biology of chronic glucagon treatment, in particular, its ability to induce energy expenditure and weight loss, remains poorly understood. Using a long-acting glucagon analog, G108, we demonstrate that glucagon-mediated body weight loss is intrinsically linked to the hypoaminoacidemia associated with its known amino acid catabolic action. Mechanistic studies reveal an energy-consuming response to low plasma amino acids in G108-treated mice, prevented by dietary amino acid supplementation and mimicked by a rationally designed low amino acid diet. Therefore, low plasma amino acids are a pre-requisite for G108-mediated energy expenditure and weight loss. However, preventing hypoaminoacidemia with additional dietary protein does not affect the ability of G108 to improve glycemia or hepatic steatosis in obese mice. These studies provide a mechanism for glucagon-mediated weight loss and confirm the hepatic glucagon receptor as an attractive molecular target for metabolic disease therapeutics. G108, a long-acting glucagon analog, stimulates hepatic amino acid catabolism Energy expenditure and weight loss is a response to G108-stimulated hypoaminoacidemia Dietary protein supplementation rescues plasma amino acids G108 improves glycemia and hepatic steatosis independent of dietary protein Using a rationally designed GCGR agonist, G108, Hope et al. demonstrate that glucagon-mediated energy expenditure is driven by a whole-body response to low plasma amino acid availability. However, neither energy expenditure nor weight loss are required for improvements in fatty liver disease or blood glucose control in obese mice.
