Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -When blood glucose levels fall too low (low blood glucose), the pancreas pumps out more glucagon. This hormone helps blood glucose rise back up in multiple ways: It causes the liver to convert stored glucose into a usable form and then release it into the bloodstream. (A process called glycogenolysis.)
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Glucagon Function Causing the liver to decrease glucose consumption. Initiating the release of glucose from glycogen, a sugar storage molecule primarily in the liver and skeletal muscle. Promoting the production of glucose from amino acids. Initiating the release of glucose into the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mini-dose glucagon will usually raise blood glucose 50 to 100 mg/dl (points) in 30 minutes without causing nausea.
