Elevations in plasma glucagon are associated with reduced insulin clearance after ingestion of a mixed‑macronutrient meal in people with and without type 2 diabetes. Our latest in @DiabetologiaJnl https://t.co/3NVrPxPf8v @OCDEM @HNERC_NclUni

2026 on a personal note has been superb: birth of my daughter, Rosa, and now notification that I’ve secured my Fellowship.

They say things happen in threes. What’s next? @ScotlandNT to win the World Cup?! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The classical view of insulin and glucagon positions them as having opposing effects on hepatic glucose metabolism

https://t.co/NNfxHwmLNw

Megan E. Capozzi & team @UW show that when #insulin and #glucagon rise together after a meal, they work together, not in opposition, to help the liver efficiently store and manage carbohydrates. The authors used a combination of mouse genetics, metabolic tracer studies, physiologic meal challenge, and hormone pharmacology experiments.

@MCRiddell1 I have been saying this for years- well done to the authors for thoroughly testing this hypothesis!

Clocked a few km in the legs in sunny Liverpool ahead of @DiabetesUK @DUK_research #dukpc. Looking forward to presenting collaborative data from us @OCDEM and @UCPH_health tomorrow. @GasbjergL

Why timing matters in MASLD: Late-day metabolic control https://t.co/RgnEx8LPhF

Privileged to have played a small role in this study. Chapeau to @tom_marjot!

[Daniel J Drucker @DanielJDrucker]

In humans nighttime metabolic dysfunction is a hallmark of #MASLD with multiple pathogenic pathways upregulated at night, including hepatic and peripheral insulin resistance, DNL, and systemic NEFA exposure https://t.co/sAm5bRLsBR #circadian

[Tom Marjot @tom_marjot]

1/🧵New in @Cell_Metabolism: Human #MASLD is a diurnal disease driven by multisystem insulin resistance & reduced insulin availability at night.

The bottom line:
📢 Multiple pathways governing intrahepatic lipid accumulation are upregulated at night🌉
