First seen Nov 10, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at how the hormone glucagon works in the liver of people with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease. Researchers want to understand if the body becomes resistant to glucagon and how that affects protein and sugar processing. About 21 lean and obese volunteers, with and without diabetes, will take part. The goal is to learn more about these conditions, not to test a new treatment.
