i.e. insulin released to reduce levels of glucagon, glucagon released to reduce leels of insulin.

2. Promotes gluconeogenesis (breaking down protein(s) to glucose).
3. Released from the pancreas. (a-cells of the islets of langerhans of the pancreas to be precise).
Really moronic description:
Glucagon promotes breakdown of glycogen/proteins/tissues and mobilises them for oxidisation (burning for energy).
