Sew a seam 7 inches from the folded edge to make a tube. Stitch twill tape in place. Thread elastic through the towel's existing hem: Snip one small slit in the towel's hem. Flip tube over and repeat, making a second slit. Tie a large knot at one end of elastic; attach safety pin to other end. Slide safety pin through 1 slit, and ease through hem and out other slit. Tie elastic ends to gather.
Glucagon causes the liver to release stores of glucose from hepatic polymers called glycogen, it also signals the liver to start a process called gluconeogenesis, in which glucose is produced from amino-acids after hepatic glycogen stores are depleted.
Knowing that glucagon's major effect is to increase blood glucose levels, it makes sense that glucagon is secreted in response to hypoglycemia or low blood concentrations of glucose. Two other conditions are known to trigger glucagon secretion: 1  Elevated blood levels of amino acids, as would be seen after consumption of a protein-rich meal: In this situation, glucagon would foster conversion of excess amino acids to glucose by enhancing gluconeogenesis.
