Answer to Question 1

Glucagon stimulates the production of ketones in the liver (ketogenesis). Ketones are formed by the breakdown of fatty acids. Ketones are then released as an alternative fuel source to the brain, heart, skeletal muscle, and kidney. Ketosis occurs when ketone production exceeds the rate of ketone use, resulting in the accumulation of ketones in the blood, which cause a variety of health complications.

Answer to Question 2
