Glucagonoma is a very rare tumor of the alpha cells of the pancreas that results in the overproduction of the hormone glucagon.Typically associated with a rash called necrolytic migratory erythema, weight loss, and mild diabetes mellitus, most people with glucagonoma contract it spontaneously. [1]

It raises the concentration of glucose and fatty acids in the bloodstream and is considered to be the main catabolic hormone of the body. It is also used as a medication ...
Mahvash disease is a form of reactive pancreatic alpha cell hyperplasia. [12] The loss of normal glucagon signaling (particularly in the liver) due to inactive glucagon receptor results in enzymatic changes in the liver so that the liver releases abnormally large quantities of amino acids into the circulation. [13]
As the American Cancer Society states, risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer include tobacco use, being overweight, diabetes, chronic pancreatitis and workplace exposure to certain ...
“The known risk factors of pancreatic cancer are smoking, pancreatitis, obesity, and genetic-related risk factors,” Dr. Kim says. “There may be several factors associated with the study ...
A 2014 review found increased risk of heart failure with saxagliptin and alogliptin, prompting the FDA in 2016 to add warnings to the relevant drug labels. [ 22 ] A 2018 meta analysis showed that use of DPP-4 inhibitors was associated with a 58% increased risk of developing acute pancreatitis compared with placebo or no treatment.
A pancreatic tumor is an abnormal growth in the pancreas. [1] In adults, almost 90% are pancreatic cancer and a few are benign. [1] Pancreatic tumors are rare in children. [1] Classification is based on cellular differentiation (ductal, acinar, neuroendocrine, other) and gross appearance (intraductal, cystic, solid). [1]
Suppresses the exocrine secretory action of pancreas. This explains how abnormally elevated somatostatin can cause diabetes mellitus , by inhibiting insulin secretion, steatorrhoea by inhibiting cholecystokinin and secretin , gall stones by inhibiting cholecystokinin which normally induce gallbladder myocytes to contract, and hypochlorhydria ...
