2. Glucagon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucagon

   High blood-glucose levels, on the other hand, stimulate the release of insulin. Insulin allows glucose to be taken up and used by insulin-dependent tissues. Thus, glucagon and insulin are part of a feedback system that keeps blood glucose levels stable. Glucagon increases energy expenditure and is elevated under conditions of stress. [4]

3. Blood sugar regulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_regulation

   If the blood glucose level falls to dangerously low levels (as during very heavy exercise or lack of food for extended periods), the alpha cells of the pancreas release glucagon, a peptide hormone which travels through the blood to the liver, where it binds to glucagon receptors on the surface of liver cells and stimulates them to break down glycogen stored inside the cells into glucose (this ...

4. Wikipedia : Osmosis/Diabetes

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Osmosis/Diabetes

   Too much glucagon can tip the delicate hormonal balance of glucagon and insulin in favor of elevating blood sugars and can lead to a cascade of events we just described—increased glucose in the blood, loss of glucose in the urine, loss of water, dehydration, and in parallel a need for alternate energy, generation of ketone bodies, and ...

   GLP-1 medications are drugs that mimic the effects of the GLP-1 hormone, helping regulate blood sugar and reduce appetite. They are primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes but are also ...

6. Blood sugar level - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_level

   The fluctuation of blood sugar (red) and the sugar-lowering hormone insulin (blue) in humans during the course of a day with three meals. One of the effects of a sugar-rich vs a starch-rich meal is highlighted. [1] The blood sugar level, blood sugar concentration, blood glucose level, or glycemia is the measure of glucose concentrated in the blood.

7. Glucagon receptor agonist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucagon_receptor_agonist

   Glucagon is a hormone that generally opposes the action of insulin. [1] It increases blood glucose by stimulating the production of glucose in the liver via glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen) and gluconeogenesis (production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources). [2]
