Upon being secreted from the pancreas, glucagon binds to the receptors on liver cells, which initiates a signaling cascade that regulates glycogen metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and fatty acid metabolism. Explain the following: 1. The metabolic conditions in which glucagon is released from the pancreas 2. How it affects metabolism of glycogen, glucose (glycolysis/gluconeogenesis), and fatty acids 3. Why it makes metabolic sense for glucagon to regulate these pathways in this manner in the liver cells.
