text: Glucagon: promotes the following in the liver: 1. breakdown of glycogen to glucose 2. synthesis of glucose from lactic acid and from noncarbohydrate molecules 3. release of glucose to the blood by liver cells, causing blood glucose levels to rise secondary effects: lower blood levels of amino acids -humoral stimuli, mainly falling blood glucose levels, prompt the alpha cells to secrete glucagon as well as sympathetic nervous system stimulation and rising amino acid levels; glucagon release is suppressed by rising blood glucose levels, insulin , and somatostatin insulin: main effect is to lower blood glucose levels but also promotes protein synthesis and fat storage.
