Sex differences in the plasma glucagon responses to a high carbohydrate meal and a glucose drink in type 2 diabetes

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Elevated fasting glucagon concentrations and/or attenuated postprandial glucagon suppression are characteristics of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and contribute to hyperglycaemia. This study shows that hyperglucagonaemia is more prominent in males than females after a nutrient load in T2D, adding insights into sex differences in relation to the pathophysiology of T2D.
