| Bioactivity | Glucagon exhibits marked effects on protein and amino acid metabolism. Glucagon inhibits the incorporation of amino acids into protein of liver, muscle, and pancreas, to increase excretion of nitrogen, to promote hepatic urea synthesis, and to increase the concentration of hepatic transaminases and urea cycle enzymes. Glucagon can promote the hepatic uptake of amino acids, to enhance their incorporation into liver glycogen, and to depress the concentration of amino acids in blood[1]. |
