GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucagon is a hormone that your pancreas makes to help regulate your blood glucose (sugar) levels. Glucagon increases your blood sugar level and prevents it from dropping too low, whereas insulin, another hormone, decreases blood sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucagon is a glucoregulatory peptide hormone that counteracts the actions of insulin by stimulating hepatic glucose production and thereby increases blood glucose levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -The release of glucagon is stimulated by low blood glucose, protein-rich meals and adrenaline (another important hormone for combating low glucose).

Detailed explanation-4: -Insulin and glucagon are hormones that help regulate the levels of blood glucose-aka sugar-in your body. Glucose comes from the food you eat and moves through your bloodstream to help fuel your body. Insulin controls whether sugar is used as energy or stored as glycogen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas. It raises concentration of glucose and fatty acids in the bloodstream, and is considered to be the main catabolic hormone of the body. It is also used as a medication to treat a number of health conditions.
