Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secretion of glucagon causes an increase in the concentration of blood glucose by promoting the breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver and stimulating gluconeogenesis (production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources) in the liver. This helps to raise blood glucose levels during periods of fasting or low blood sugar. Glucagon does not increase the formation of fat or the permeability of the cell membrane to glucose, and it actually promotes the breakdown of glycogen rather than an increase in glycogen.
