The correct answer is the oxidation of glucose.

Glucagon functions to counterbalance the activities of insulin. Approximately four to six hours after eating, the levels of glucose in the blood diminishes, stimulating the pancreas to generate glucagon. This hormone signals the liver and cells of the muscles to modify the accumulated glycogen back into glucose.
