Abstract

There are many cardiovascular molecules which act on specific class of receptors. Study of role some molecules and their receptor in the different disease condition is the scope of interest of this article. The main purpose is to do combined study the role of single family of molecule in diverse pathophysiological conditions. There are three major hormones, one is Glucagon, and other two are from glucagon like peptide family i.e. glucagon like peptide-1 and glucagon like Peptide-2 plays important role in many pathophysiological condition. This article provides the information about role of these hormones and their receptor in different pathophysiological conditions like diabetes, and many more.

Keywords: Receptor, Glucagon, CAMP, Agonist.
