Actions of glucagon Introduction to the many actions of glucagon The physiological actions of glucagon are difficult to define due to differences between species (such as the lipolytic effects observed in rats but not in humans [68]), the rapid clearance of glucagon, dose-dependent interaction with the GLP-1 receptor [45], and direct vs indirect actions mediated by activation of the sympathetic nervous system or through secretion of hepatokines, such as fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21 [69])
