The Effects of Glucagon on Hepatic Metabolism

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Whether impaired postprandial glucagon suppression in prediabetes and T2DM is an attempt to overcome resistance to glucagon's actions on hepatic AA catabolism, a defect in α-cell function, or a combination of both are important, unanswered questions. NAFLD is associated with T2DM risk and impaired insulin action. Unfortunately, it is unclear if glucagon resistance is caused by obesity, hepatic steatosis or both. The experiments outlined will determine if glucagon's actions on hepatic amino acid catabolism and EGP interact with hepatic lipid metabolism in lean and obese subjects with and without T2DM (and with varying degrees of hepatic steatosis).
