Vedclass · Answer

(B) $Glucagon$ is a peptide hormone secreted by the $\alpha$-cells of the $Pancreas$. It plays a major role in maintaining normal blood glucose levels. $Glucagon$ acts mainly on the liver cells $(Hepatocytes)$ and stimulates $Glycogenolysis$ (breakdown of glycogen to glucose),resulting in an increased blood sugar level $(Hyperglycemia)$. It also stimulates the process of $Gluconeogenesis$ (formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources),which also contributes to hyperglycemia. However,$Glucagon$ reduces cellular glucose uptake and utilization. Therefore,the statement that it increases cellular glucose uptake and utilization is incorrect.
