Glucagon raises blood glucose levels by

A) stimulating the liver to take up glucose.
B) inhibiting gluconeogenesis.
C) stimulating gluconeogenesis.
D) inhibiting fatty acid mobilization.
E) inhibiting amino acid mobilization.

Glucagon

A hormone produced by the pancreas that raises blood glucose levels by promoting the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in the liver.

Gluconeogenesis

A metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids.

Blood Glucose Levels

The concentration of glucose present in the blood, a critical measure for managing diabetes and metabolic health.
