Glycogenolysis and glycogenesis
QuestionChoice
Glucagon is a peptide hormone secreted by alpha cells in the pancreas. One of the key functions of glucagon is to increase the concentration of glucose in the blood. The two main methods through which this is achieved are glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen into glucose molecules) and gluconeogenesis (conversion of amino acids into glucose).
