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 works in a manner that is generally opposite to insulin. It will labor to increase blood glucose concentration, thereby returning it toward normal levels (see Blood Glucose and Hormone Table).To accomplish this, glucagon promotes the breakdown of liver glycogen to glucose, which is released into circulation.lucagon works in a manner that is generally opposite to insulin.
