Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone that is produced in response to low blood sugar levels.At high glucagon concentrations glycolysis is slowed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When glucagon is released in response to low blood sugar levels, it stimulates gluconeogenesis - the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources (such as amino acids and fatty acids) and glycogenolysis - the breakdown of glycogen into glucose. This increases blood sugar levels. In contrast, glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate and takes place in the cytoplasm of cells. High glucagon concentrations do not affect glycolysis directly.
