glucagon receptor antagonists
Glucagon receptor antagonists are a type of medication that blocks the activity of glucagon receptors in the body. By doing so, they reduce the effects of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels, leading to decreased glucose production by the liver. These drugs are typically used in the treatment of conditions such as type 2 diabetes to help regulate blood sugar levels.
