NCT ID NCT06685146
First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the hormone glucagon affects thinking and insulin release, separate from its role in raising blood sugar. Fifteen healthy adults received infusions of glucagon and, on another day, glucose to match blood sugar levels. Researchers compared cognitive test scores and insulin markers to understand glucagon's direct effects on the brain and pancreas.
