is the situation of hypoglycemia conducive to the secretion
of glucagon hormone?why is there a spurt in the secretion
of glucagon hormone in adolescence?

Answer Posted / shrikant

low levels of glucose in blood is sensed by alpha cell of
pancreas and release glucagon which functions to furnish the
blood glucose levels from stored glycogen or triglycerides
so hypoglycemia is conducive for secretion of
glucagon.During adolescence their is requirement of
continuous supply of energy to the body organs like
lever,muscles,kidney and above all brain to carry out
various pathways of metabolism that leads to complete
development into adult so their is spurt in secretion of
glucagon to maintain blood glucose to optimum level
