A computational systems analysis of factors regulating α cell glucagon secretion
Open accessAbstract
Glucagon, a peptide hormone secreted from the α-cells of the pancreatic islets, is critical for blood glucose homeostasis. We reviewed the literature and employed a computational systems analysis of intracellular metabolic and electrical regulation of glucagon secretion to better understand these processes. The mathematical model of α-cell metabolic parameters is based on our previous model for pancreatic β-cells. We also formulated an ionic model for action potentials that incorporates Ca ( 2+) , K (+) , Na (+) and Cl (-) currents. Metabolic and ionic models are coupled to the equations describing Ca ( 2+) homeostasis and glucagon secretion that depends on activation of specific voltage-gated Ca ( 2+) channels. Paracrine and endocrine regulations were analyzed with an emphasis on their effects on a hyperpolarization of membrane potential. This general model simulates and gives insight into the mechanisms of regulation of glucagon secretion under a wide range of experimental conditions. We also reviewed and analyzed dysfunctional mechanisms in α-cells to determine key pharmacological targets for modulating glucagon secretion in type 1 and 2 diabetes.

A relatively large set of mathematical models were developed with focus on glucagon secretion at cellular level.
“A relatively large set of mathematical models were developed with focus on glucagon secretion at cellular level (12–21).”
From Mathematical Model of Glucagon Kinetics for the Assessment of Insulin-Mediated Glucagon Inhibition During an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (2021) · cites this paper as [21]
Section 2.5 describes this paper’s computational model of glucagon secretion in α-cells, so it is an example of the kind of model cited. But Section 4.6 says the authors found only two earlier intracellular α-cell models and that neither simulated glucagon secretion; this paper does not support the claim that a relatively large set had been developed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
