Normal Glucagon Signaling and β-Cell Function After Near-Total α-Cell Ablation in Adult Mice

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether healthy or diabetic adult mice can tolerate an extreme loss of pancreatic α-cells and how this sudden massive depletion affects β-cell function and blood glucose homeostasis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We generated a new transgenic model allowing near-total α-cell re...
