The brown adipose tissue glucagon receptor is functional but not essential for control of energy homeostasis in mice

Objective: Administration of glucagon (GCG) or GCG-containing co-agonists reduces body weight and increases energy expenditure. These actions appear to be transduced by multiple direct and indirect GCG receptor (GCGR)-dependent mechanisms. Although the canonical GCGR is expressed in brown adipose ti...
