Meaning
Glucagon is a hormone which acts to increase levels of glucose in the blood.
About Glucagon
- Glucagon is secreted by the pancreas.
- A target organ for glucagon is the liver.
- When the liver detects glucagon it takes its stores of glycogen and converts them into glucose to be released into the blood.
- Glucagon also causes Fats to turn into glucose.
