Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucagon stimulates the breakdown of hepatic glycogen to glucose, increasing hepatic glucose production. It also enhances hepatic ketogenesis by promoting the breakdown of fatty acids in adipose tissue. However, it does not diminish the degradation of hepatic proteins. Glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreas.
