“Incubation experiments using the glucagon‐producing mouse pancreatic α‐cell line αTC1 clone 9 (αTC1.9) as well as isolated pancreatic islets of rats and mice revealed that melatonin increases glucagon secretion.”
“In conclusion, these findings revealed evidence that melatonin influences pancreatic glucagon expression and secretion as well as the peripheral glucagon action.”
“The results demonstrate that melatonin incubation significantly enhanced the expression as well as the secretion of glucagon.”
