A study by scientists from the University of Uppsala has proven that another hormone is involved in the formation of type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes patients suffer from more than just insufficient secretion insulin, but also from too intense release of glucagon into the blood, which impairs the control of glucose levels in human blood.
The reason is that the cells responsible for glucagon have become insulin resistant.
If in healthy people insulin helps the body absorb glucose, lowering blood sugar levels, then in patients with type 2 diabetes, cells that are supposed to absorb glucose do not sense the insulin signals that it is time to start it make.Experiments have shown that malfunctioning glucagon-producing cells plays a leading role in the formation of consistently high blood glucose levels. Scientists expect this discovery to help bring new, more effective strategies to the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
