Glucagon is the body's principal signal to release stored glucose. An agent that activates its receptor should, on that effect alone, worsen glycaemic control. Earlier interest in glucagon for weight was tempered by exactly this.
Yet glucagon also increases energy expenditure and lipid oxidation, which are desirable in the same context. The two effects pull in opposite directions on the two outcomes.
Pairing glucagon activity with potent incretin activity means insulin secretion is enhanced in a glucose-dependent way at the same time, countering the glucose rise. Whether the balance works is empirical, and in the phase 2 trials glycated haemoglobin fell rather than rose.
That result is the resolution of the paradox for this molecule. It is not a general proof that glucagon agonism is safe in any combination.
Energy expenditure was increased by the glucagon component in rodent studies. It was not directly measured in the phase 2 human trials, so its contribution to the weight results in people is inferred from the design and the animal data rather than demonstrated.
That gap is routinely closed in secondary summaries and should not be.
