Project Summary Glucagon and insulin are pancreatic hormones that control the glycemic response to fasting and feeding. Canonically, glucagon is secreted in the fasted state where it stimulates hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in order to raise glycemia. Conversely, insulin is secreted in response to elevated blood glucose to stimulate glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. These canonical, opposing effects of glucagon and insulin on the liver overlook the long understanding that amino acids in mixed nutrient feeding stimulate the islet a-cell to secrete glucagon. Moreover, our recent work has shown the importance of glucagon-stimulated insulin secretion to maintaining glucose tolerance. Therefore, the expected response to a physiologic mixed nutrient meal is the co-secretion of glucagon and insulin into portal circulation. The preliminary data presented herein support the notion that glucagon and insulin work cooperatively, not antagonistically, to control prandial glucose metabolism. We hypothesize that glucagon and insulin co-secretion controls hepatic glucose metabolism to allow glucose to reach the periphery before being stored in the liver. Successful completion of this project will alter our fundamental understanding of hepatic glucose metabolism and my provide insight for novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of metabolic disease. Importantly, completion of the proposed aims will support several new technical and conceptual developments that will provide a foundation for a career as an independent investigator.

项目摘要 胰升糖素和胰岛素是控制对禁食和进食的血糖反应的胰腺激素。 通常，高血糖素是在禁食状态下分泌的，在这种状态下，它刺激肝脏糖原分解和 糖异生，以提高血糖。相反，胰岛素是在血糖升高时分泌的。 以刺激外周组织的葡萄糖摄取。胰高血糖素和胰岛素的这些典型的、相反的作用 肝脏忽视了长期以来的理解，即混合营养喂养中的氨基酸刺激胰岛a细胞 分泌胰升糖素。此外，我们最近的工作表明了高血糖素刺激的胰岛素分泌的重要性。 来维持葡萄糖耐量。因此，对生理性混合营养餐的预期反应是 胰升糖素和胰岛素共同分泌进入门静脉循环。这里提供的初步数据支持 认为胰升糖素和胰岛素协同工作，而不是相互对抗，以控制膳食葡萄糖代谢。 我们假设，胰高血糖素和胰岛素共同分泌控制肝脏葡萄糖代谢，使葡萄糖 在储存到肝脏之前到达外周。这个项目的成功完成将改变我们的 对肝脏葡萄糖代谢的基础了解和我的研究为新的治疗靶点提供了见解 用于治疗代谢性疾病。重要的是，完成拟议的目标将支持几个新的 技术和概念方面的发展，将为独立调查员的职业生涯奠定基础。
