May warrant ketone monitoring with catecholamines in lean diabetics; leaves open obesity's role in blunting ketosis risk.
How does norepinephrine-induced free fatty acid elevation affect blood ketone responses in diabetic versus nondiabetic subjects?
The hyperketonemic response to norepinephrine-induced free fatty acid elevation is exaggerated in nonobese diabetics and is inversely correlated with obesity.
Blackard et al. (1964) studied this question.
