Glucagon has an important counterregulatory role that prevents hypoglycemia.Which glucagon-stimulated enzyme increases hepatic glucose production and thus blood glucose levels?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is the enzyme stimulated by glucagon that increases hepatic glucose production by promoting gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Hormone-sensitive lipase and lipoprotein lipase are involved in lipid metabolism, while glycogen synthase and fatty acyl oxidase have no direct role in glucose production.
