In contrast, in hyperthyroidism patients, thyroid hormone increases intestinal glucose absorption through rapid stomach emptying and increased intestinal hexokinase and phosphokinase activity, directly influencing islet [sz]-cells and increasing hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.[sup][15] Furthermore, a reduction in peripheral glucose uptake among other effects leads to elevated blood glucose and insulin resistance,[sup][16] resulting in diabetes.

Glucose levels are maintained by glycogenolysis, but glycogen stores are rarely sufficient for more than 72 hours.

Refeeding Syndrome

First, AMPK phosphorylates and activates phosphory-lase kinase, which then phosphorylates and activates glycogen phosphorylase, an enzyme controlling glycogenolysis and catalyzing the production of substrate for glycolysis [21].

Possibly this increase in plasma glucose levels due to catecholamine mediated glycogenolysis may represent an adaptive response to stress caused by transport.

In response to stress, increased glycogenolysis increases blood glucose concentrations; however, due to CCB blockade of calcium-mediated insulin release by pancreatic [beta] cells, the additional glucose cannot be used.

Clinical Laboratory Investigation of a Patient with Extreme Hypercalcemia

FOXO1 regulates adipogenesis, gluconeogenesis, and glycogenolysis. Mechanistically, the unphosphorylated FOXO1 binds to the insulin response sequence present in the promoter region of G6P (glucose-6 phosphatase) in the nucleus [88].
