Effect of a selective rise in sinusoidal norepinephrine on HGP is due to an increase in glycogenolysis

Research was conducted to study the effects of a selective rise in liver sinusoidal norepinephrine on hepatic glucose production (HGP). Doppler flow probes were utilized to estimate total hepatic blood flow while total glucose production was expressed using compartment models. Results indicated that the increase in glucose production caused by the norepinephrine release would lead to an increase in hepatic glycogenolysis.
