Abstract

The invention provides materials and methods for promoting weight loss or preventing weight gain, and in the treatment of diabetes and associated metabolic disorders. In particular, the invention provides novel acylated glucagon analogue peptides effective in such methods. The peptides may mediate their effect by having increased selectivity for the GLP-1 receptor as compared to human glucagon.
