Starvation triggers an organismal adaptive response that is orchestrated by endocrine factors. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Long et al. uncover a famsin-glucagon axis that relays gut-derived hormonal cues to systemic glucose homeostasis during fasting.

The intestine is responsible for nutrient absorption and orchestrates metabolism in different organs during feeding, a process which is partly controlled by intestine-derived hormones. However, it is unclear whether the intestine plays an important role in metabolism during fasting. Here we have identified a novel hormone, famsin, which is secreted from the intestine and promotes metabolic adaptations to fasting.
