Effect of epinephrine on glucose metabolism in humans: contribution of the liver. Abstract. Epinephrine causes a prompt increase in blood glucose concentration in the postabsorptive state. This effect is mediated by a transient increase in hepatic glucose production and an inhibition of glucose disposal by insulin-dependent tissues. Epinephrine augments hepatic glucose production by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.
According to wikipedia the following also increase blood glucose levels (hyperglycemic hormones): S â¦ omatostatin, Cortisol, Growth Hormone, Glucagon, Thyroxine, and Epineprine. Typically we use the term blood glucose, or blood sugar to describe the amount of glucose in someone's blood.here is more than one hormone that regulated blood glucose levels. The most important is insulin, which is the only one that lowers blood glucose when blood sugar levels are â¦ high. It causes liver, fat, and muscle cells to take up excess glucose and convert it to glycogon which can be stored.
