Does aMP-activated protein kinase regulate glucagon secretion from mouse pancreatic alpha cells?
AMPK is strongly regulated by glucose in pancreatic alpha cells, and increases in AMPK activity are sufficient and necessary for the stimulation of glucagon release in vitro. Modulation of AMPK activity in alpha cells may therefore provide a novel approach to controlling blood glucose concentrations.
