Abstract
Modification to the structure of glucagon has provided a number of glucagon receptor antagonists with possible therapeutic application for diabetes. These novel peptide analogs include desHis1Pro4Glu9-glucagon and desHis1Pro4Glu9(Lys30PAL)-glucagon. This study has evaluated the metabolic benefits of once daily administration of desHis1Pro4Glu9-glucagon and desHis1Pro4Glu9(Lys30PAL)-glucagon in high fat (45%) fed mice for 15 days. Administration of desHis1Pro4Glu9-glucagon and desHis1Pro4Glu9(Lys30PAL)-glucagon had no significant effect on body weight, food intake or circulating glucose concentrations during the treatment period. However, both peptides significantly (P
