When glycemia is low, such as during fasting or between meals, glucagon promotes the hepatic break-down of stored glycogen (glycogenolysis) into glucose for release into the bloodstream, or the renal synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources (Jiang and Zhang, 2003
Collectively, these findings demonstrated that H188 expressed in HEK293 cells served as an accurate biosensor for detection of cAMP
