Video Summary
Glucagon is a hormone that helps your body to break down glycogen (a type of sugar) in the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream. This can help to raise blood sugar levels when they are too low, like during fasting. Glucagon is produced by alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas.
