Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Glucagon is a peptide hormone secreted from the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Hypoglycemia is physiologically the most potent secretory stimulus and the best known action of glucagon is to stimulate glucose production in the liver and thereby to maintain adequate plasma glucose concentrations.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucagon works with your liver to turn a type of stored sugar called glycogen into glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -The liver both stores and manufactures glucose depending upon the body’s need. The need to store or release glucose is primarily signaled by the hormones insulin and glucagon.
