• Descrição: Glucagon (Human) is a recombinant peptide hormone, which is synthesized to mimic the natural glucagon produced by alpha cells in the pancreas. This biopharmaceutical is derived from a DNA recombinant technology source, offering a high level of purity and consistency. Its mode of action involves binding to glucagon receptors on liver cells, stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. This results in the rapid conversion of glycogen into glucose, thereby raising blood sugar levels.Glucagon (Human) is primarily utilized in the treatment of severe hypoglycemia, especially in diabetic patients unable to consume oral glucose due to unconsciousness or confusion. Its application is critical in acute settings where rapid intervention is necessary to prevent neurological damage from prolonged hypoglycemia. Additionally, the research and clinical use of glucagon extend to investigating its potential in counteracting beta-blocker and calcium channel blocker overdoses, where it acts to increase cardiac output. This hormone's pharmaceutical development has provided a crucial tool in both emergency response and broader therapeutic research contexts.
