glucagon receptor-mediated effects
Glucagon receptor-mediated effects refer to the physiological responses and actions that are stimulated by the binding of glucagon to its receptors found on cells in the body. These effects include increasing glucose production and release by the liver, stimulating the breakdown of glycogen stores, promoting fat breakdown, and influencing various metabolic processes involved in maintaining blood sugar levels.
