Elevated plasma adrenaline levels increase skeletal muscle glycogen breakdown and PDH activation resulting in greater carbohydrate oxidation. Adrenaline is without effect on hepatic glucose production and decreases muscle glucose uptake. This effect may be due to direct effects on glucose transport which potentially impacts on the management of human diseases such as diabetes.
