To elucidate the physiological roles of FoxO1 in pancreatic alpha cell, we prepared and analyzed the character of alpha cell-specific constitutive active-FoxO1 knockin mice (alpha-FoxO1-KI). Alpha-FoxO1 KI mice showed significant increases in plasma glucagon and blood glucose levels under random fed condition. We conclude that FoxO1 promotes glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cell.
