Fields of Application:
Hypoglycemia (diabetes mellitus)
Active Substance:
Glucagon is produced in the α-cells of the islets of Langerhans. The hormone opposes the action of insulin. Glucagon
promotes the synthesis and mobilization of glucose from glycogen in the liver. The generation of glucose from lipids
is regulated by glucagon as well.
Additionally, glucacon induces inotropic and chronotropic effects by raising the concentration of cAMP.
