LEAP2, a liver-derived antagonist for the ghrelin receptor, GHSR1a, counteracts the effects of ghrelin on appetite and energy balance. Less is known about its impact on blood glucose-regulating hormones from pancreatic islets. Here, we investigate whether acyl-ghrelin (AG) and LEAP2 regulate islet hormone release in a cell-type- and sex-specific manner.

GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are an innovative class of drugs with significant therapeutic value for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The GLP-1RAs currently available on the market are biologic macromolecular peptide agents that are expensive to treat and not easy to take orally. Therefore, the development of small molecule GLP-1RAs is becoming one of the most sought-after research targets for hypoglycemic drugs.

Background: It has been reported that central adrenal insufficiency (CAI) in pediatric patients (pts) with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) may be a potential cause of their sudden death. In addition, the risk of CAI may increase during treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH).
Objective: To prevent both over- and undertreatment with hydrocortisone, we evaluated the prevalence of CAI in a large multicenter cohort of pediatric pts with PWS analyzing adrenal response in the low-dose ACTH test (LDAT) and/or the glucagon stimulation test (GST) and reviewing the literature.

Context: Glucagon plays a role in the development of type 2 diabetes, yet its role in prediabetes (preDM) remains uncertain.
Objective: To evaluate glucagon levels in the fasting state and its response to glucose inhibition in preDM through meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic search across Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library identified studies assessing glucagon levels during 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in both preDM and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) cohorts.
