Increasing parasympathetic stimulation typically does not cause increased glucagon secretion. Instead, it is the sympathetic nervous system that is activated in response to low blood glucose levels, leading to increased glucagon secretion. Glucagon is secreted by the pancreas when blood glucose levels fall, to stimulate the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream. The parasympathetic nervous system is more often associated with "rest and digest" activities, not the activation of glucose release.
