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.
If epinephrine is used in pediatric patients, some clinicians have recommended an infusion rate of 0.05â0.3 mcg/kg per minute, titrated to effect. 204 237 When therapy is discontinued, decrease infusion rate gradually (e.g., by reducing every 30 minutes over a 12- to 24- hour period). 195
