Glucagon mostly acts on the liver. Insulin acts in common on all cells. Both too act on the adipose tissue respectively stimulating (or glucagon) and inhibiting (insulin) the utilization of fatty acids in the energetic metabolism (that is, an alternate path of energetic metabolism is activated whenever there is shortage of glucose).
