Past research on accelerated aging associated with Type 2 diabetes, enhanced longevity and metabolic health resulting from calorie restriction have been mainly focused on the role that insulin plays. New research, however, is looking at glucagon, a hormone that works against the action of insulin. Jennifer Stern, PhD, will discuss her current study which focuses on how caloric restriction enhances glucagon sensitivity at the liver and how this will help her to identify a new therapeutic method of promoting healthy aging and preventing age-related metabolic diseases.
