Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas. ... Glucagon causes the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream. High blood-glucose levels, on the other hand, stimulate the release of insulin.

Epinephrine, also called adrenaline,hormone that is secreted mainly by the medulla of the adrenal glandsand that functions primarily to increase cardiac output and to raise glucose levels in the blood. Epinephrine typically is released during acute stress, and its stimulatory effects fortify and prepare an individual for either “fight or flight” (see fight-or-flight response). Epinephrine is closely related in structure to norepinephrine, differing only in the presence of a methyl group on the nitrogen side chain

Hope this answer helps to you.
