Deletion of the glucagon receptor gene before and after experimental diabetes reveals differential protection from hyperglycemia

Objective: Mice with congenital loss of the glucagon receptor gene (Gcgr−/− mice) remain normoglycemic in insulinopenic conditions, suggesting that unopposed glucagon action is the driving force for hyperglycemia in Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). However, chronic loss of GCGR results in a neomorph...
