Hepatic Kisspeptin Secretion Impairs Insulin Secretion from Pancreatic Bets Cell. Kisspeptin Receptor GPR54 Antagonist for Treatment of Prediabetes and Diabetes Mellitus in Humans.

Unmet NeedGlucagon and insulin work together to keep blood glucose levels balanced. Glucagon stimulates the liver to secrete glucose while insulin suppresses glucose release. If the body does not regulate glucose levels properly, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) will develop. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a world-wide epidemic, projected to affect 1/3...
