| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Increased glucagon secretion is an essential pathogenic abnormality found in type 2 diabetes patients. In this study, we have conducted several experiments aiming to elucidate mechanisms of glucagon secretion and to apply the results for analyzing pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes in humans. We found that modulation of the sulfonylurea receptor signaling by zinc and GLP-1 could be involved in glucagon secretion, providing insights for further analysis on its mechanisms. We have also conducted a clinical study in which type 2 diabetes patients on insulin monotherapy were treated either with sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, or metformin, a biguanide compound. We have demonstrated that sitagliptin improved glycemic control by reducing glucagon secretion. In parallel, we have compared glucagon immunoassays, and found that a newly developed glucagon ELISA revealed more dynamic changes in glucagon after a meal challenge test.
