Title		Normal glucagon signaling and β-cell function after near-total α-cell ablation in adult mice
Authors		Thorel, Fabrizio Damond, Nicolas Chera, Simona Wiederkehr, Andreas Thorens, Bernard Meda, Paolo Wollheim, Claes B Herrera, Pedro Luis
Published in		Diabetes. 2011, vol. 60, no. 11, p. 2872-82
Abstract		To evaluate whether healthy or diabetic adult mice can tolerate an extreme loss of pancreatic α-cells and how this sudden massive depletion affects β-cell function and blood glucose homeostasis.
