flapjacks In Type 1 DM, the glucagon response to hypoglycemia is not functional and these individuals are reliant on the epinephrine-stimulated hepatic glycogenolysis. I recall this by remembering you can administer glucagon to these patients if they're having a hypoglycemic episode. They can respond to it, but they aren't releasing it. +2

passplease How did you eliminate thyroxine? As it also plays a role in lipolysis. I was thrown off my the low blood pressure and therefore did not select epinephrine. Why would they still have a low blood pressure? +

jackie_chan ^ they have low blood pressure because DKA causes a lot of dehydration (vomiting, diuresis due to osmotically active glucose in urine) so low BP Thyroxine I eliminated because remember that thyroxine is unique in that it functions similar to a steroid hormone and acts in the nucleus to upregulate expression of many genes. I figured hormone-sensitive lipase needs to be activated, not stimulated to upregulate expression, so I thought about EPI and beta-3 stimulation. fuckPeter +1

schep I figured since he has low BP/dehydrated, his body would try to maintain cardiac output by increasing sympathetic tone (releasing epinephrine). In hypovolemic shock, systemic vascular resistance is up because of this compensation. +

j44n also thyroxine works like a steroid hormone meaning it takes a while to cause its effect +

flvent2120 That'd be cool if it were called "epinephrine sensitive lipase" +
