Glucagon triggers your liver to convert stored glucose (glycogen) into a usable form and then release it into your bloodstream.

<h3>What is glucagon?</h3>

The pancreatic alpha cells that produce glucagon are peptide hormones. It is thought to be the body's primary catabolic hormone since it increases blood levels of glucose and fatty acids. Additionally, it is prescribed as medicine to treat a variety of medical ailments.

When the blood glucose level is too low, the pancreas produces glucagon. Glycogenolysis—the process by which the liver releases glucose into the bloodstream—is triggered by glucagon and occurs in the liver. On the other hand, high blood sugar levels encourage the production of insulin. Insulin-dependent tissues can absorb and utilize glucose with the help of insulin. As a result, the feedback mechanism that maintains steady blood glucose levels includes both glucagon and insulin. Energy expenditure is increased by glucagon, which is higher during stressful situations. The secretin family of hormones includes glucagon.
