Sympatho-adrenal integrity appears required for hemorrhagic hyperglycemia in cats; leaves open mechanisms and human relevance.
Does the sympatho-adrenal system mediate hemorrhagic hyperglycemia in cats?
During hemorrhage, the sympatho-adrenal system influences hepatic glucose output via adrenal catecholamines, direct sympathetic nerve influence, and pancreatic glucagon release.
Johannes Järhult (1975) studied this question.
