Soy isoflavones are not only special because of the effect they are believed to have on health, but also, because for all practical purposes, no other food contains as significant an amount of these chemicals as does the soybean. The major isoflavones in soybeans are genistein, daidzein and glycitein.
Glucagonâs role in the body is to prevent blood glucose levels dropping too low. To do this, it acts on the liver in several ways: It stimulates the conversion of stored glycogen (stored in the liver) to glucose, which can be released into the bloodstream. This process is called glycogenolysis.
Glucagon is produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas and has variety of effects. These include increasing the conversion of glycogen, which is stored in the liver, into glucose, which can be used by the body's cells from energy. Glucagon also stimulates the body's use of proteins and fats for energy.
