Article Synopsis
- The study explored how glucagon levels respond after a glucose challenge during oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) in individuals without diabetes.
- It found that while 66-79% of participants suppressed glucagon levels, 21-34% had increased glucagon, and those with nonsuppressed levels surprisingly had a lower risk of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
- The findings suggest that lower glucagon suppression may indicate a healthier metabolic state rather than being detrimental, as these individuals also had better insulin sensitivity and lower liver fat.
