[edit] Glucagon and Glucose
Extract from the article - "Glucagon also regulates the rate of glucose production through lipolysis." Are we sure about this statement? I thought lipolysis is the breakdown of fat stored in fat cells, releasing free fatty acids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.99.44.255 (talk) 23:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- In addition, glycerol is released which is then converted to glucose in the liver. TheTrojanHought (talk) 19:14, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Transdermal Glucagon Patch
Just wondering, is there any prospect for a transdermal glucagon patch in the future? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Interestedperson (talk • contribs) 21:00, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page Layout Error?
There appears to be an error with this page. Some overlapping text appears in the "Uses" section. It might be my browser(firefox), but I doubt it. It would be great if someone else fixed this because I'm not sure how to do it. --Jmz9466 (talk) 21:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image not proper!!
I've noticed that the image for glucagon has been replaced by an ad. I tried to repair it by undoing one of the edits, but it didn't work. Please fix it. And to the one who caused this vandalism: you should be ashamed for destroying wikipedia!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deltawarrior60 (talk • contribs) 23:23, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
The structure of glucagon is NOT glucagon! PDB 1D0R corresponds to glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) which is NOT glucagon. These are different molecules, with different biological functions. The title of the PDB entry: SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE-1-(7-36)-AMIDE IN TRIFLUOROETHANOL/WATER . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthortruth (talk • contribs) 16:26, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Glucagon Other Uses
I believe there should be some mention of glucagon as a smooth muscle relaxant and its use in oesophageal and airway obstruction.

I also think it is worth having the article mention that Glucagon can be a very effective antagonist of calcium channel blockers. Not only can this bit of info be life saving in the event of a CCB overdose but is important information when considering Glucagon's use by those who also are being treated for high blood pressure. I don't have access to the journals to dig up proper peer reviewed references. I could find some online references such as: [1] [2] JJ Bosch (talk) 04:42, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
