Talk:Glucagon

message: Extract from the article - "Glucagon also regulates the rate of glucose production through lipolysis." Are we sure about this statement? I thought lipolysis is the breakdown of fat stored in fat cells, releasing free fatty acids.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.99.44.255 (talk) 23:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

message: There appears to be an error with this page. Some overlapping text appears in the "Uses" section. It might be my browser(firefox), but I doubt it. It would be great if someone else fixed this because I'm not sure how to do it.

thread_title:  Page Layout Error?

message: I've noticed that the image for glucagon has been replaced by an ad. I tried to repair it by undoing one of the edits, but it didn't work. Please fix it. And to the one who caused this vandalism: you should be ashamed for destroying wikipedia!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deltawarrior60 (talk • contribs) 23:23, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Image not proper!! 

message: I believe there should be some mention of glucagon as a smooth muscle relaxant and its use in oesophageal and airway obstruction.

thread_title: Glucagon Other Uses 

message: ...what in the hell is *that* supposed to prove that another test couldn't have? No, seriously, where's PETA when you need them? Granted, crayfish are invertebrates, but someone should have stopped whoever did that study. It comes across as "I was desperate for a dissertation" based sadism.  ...Just sayin'.  ...I'm not really sure what it is supposed to contribute to the discussion of glucagon here. On top of everything else, it comes across as trivia. 65.27.134.29 (talk) 02:24, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: "Eyestalk removal?"

message: It would be nice to mention Glucagen here. Glucagen is (supposedly) the same as glucagon, except that it is made rDNA (recombinant DNA, i.e. GMO) using bacteria instead of extracted from animal organs. 
Likewise, I'd like to see other trade names for Glucagon listed.
Separate topic: Dfor50 suggests "there should be some mention of glucagon as a smooth muscle relaxant and its use in oesophageal and airway obstruction." It is often used alone or in combination with EZ gas to free stuck food in the esophagus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radiodave2 (talk • contribs) 16:38, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

message: An anonymous editor dropped doi:10.1677/JOE-08-0290 in the "external links" section. It is a good secondary source so I thought I'd at least put it here. JFW | T@lk 21:50, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
