Glucose Liver Increasing Ways Glucagon Can Raise Blood Concentrations

Front What are the three ways in which glucagon can raise blood glucose concentrations?
Back

1. Glycogenosis - the liver breaks down its glycogen store into glucose and releases it into the bloodstream.

2. Reducing the amount of glucose absorbed by the liver

3. Increasing gluconeogenesis - increasing the conversion of amino acids and glycerol into glucose in the liver.
