Hypoglycemic symptoms and manifestations can be divided into those produced by the counterregulatory hormones (epinephrine/adrenaline and glucagon) triggered by the falling glucose, and the neuroglycopenic effects produced by the reduced brain sugar. Amylin (a pancreatic polypeptide), the incretins (glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide [GIP]), and other glucose counterregulatory hormones (epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, and growth hormone) are part of this redundant and complex neuroendocrine network that contributes to maintaining this balance. Counterregulatory hormones are lower in patients undergoing general anesthesia |
