Glucagon enhances multiple steps in this pathway: Increased lipolysis: Glucagon activates hormone-sensitive lipase in adipose tissue, releasing more fatty acids into circulation Reduced lipogenesis: Glucagon suppresses the enzymes responsible for creating new fat from carbohydrates Enhanced hepatic oxidation: Glucagon upregulates liver enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation Ketogenesis: When fat oxidation exceeds the citric acid cycle capacity, excess acetyl-CoA is converted to ketone bodies, an alternative fuel source The net effect is a metabolic state favoring fat breakdown over fat storage
Injection site reactions, including redness, bruising, or mild swelling, were also reported but were generally transient
