Detailed explanation-1: -Glucagon triggers your liver to convert stored glucose (glycogen) into a usable form and then release it into your bloodstream. This process is called glycogenolysis. Glucagon can also prevent your liver from taking in and storing glucose so that more glucose stays in your blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -To help you keep the level steady and healthy, your body makes a hormone called glucagon while you sleep and after you eat. It’s made in your pancreas, a small organ above your liver, and it can raise levels of glucose, or sugar, in your blood.
Detailed explanation-3: -About 4–6 hours after you eat, the glucose levels in your blood decrease. This triggers your pancreas to produce glucagon. This hormone signals your liver and muscle cells to convert the stored glycogen back into glucose.
