However, the in vivo physiological consequence of glucagon action on -cells remains uncertain, especially considering that directional flow through a pancreatic islet is from -cells to -cells, such that secreted glucagon has to complete a circuit of the body, including escaping clearance through the liver and kidney, so that minimal concentrations of glucagon actually reach the -cell and are unlikely to have a physiological effect 62,63

However, the study did not find significant associations with several common cardiac and metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, ischemic heart disease, and congestive heart failure
This size range is critical: particles below 100 nm are cleared too rapidly by the renal system, while particles above 300 nm face significant physical barriers to intestinal absorption
