Neuroendocrine responses to hypoglycemia

Abstract

The counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia is a complex and well-coordinated process. As blood glucose concentration declines, peripheral and central glucose sensors relay this information to central integrative centers to coordinate neuroendocrine, autonomic, and behavioral responses and avert the progression of hypoglycemia. Diabetes, both type 1 and type 2, can perturb these counterregulatory responses. Moreover, defective counterregulation in the setting of diabetes can progress to hypoglycemia unawareness. While the mechanisms that underlie the development of hypoglycemia unawareness are not completely known, possible causes include altered sensing of hypoglycemia by the brain and/or impaired coordination of responses to hypoglycemia. Further study is needed to better understand the intricacies of the counterregulatory response and the mechanisms contributing to the development of hypoglycemia unawareness.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Cortisol has a key role in glucose homeostasis, particularly in the counter-regulatory mechanisms to prevent hypoglycaemia in times of biological stress.

    “Cortisol has a key role in glucose homeostasis, particularly in the counter-regulatory mechanisms to prevent hypoglycaemia in times of biological stress.”

    From Hypoglycaemia in adrenal insufficiency (2023) · cites this paper as [13]

    In “The counterregulatory factors” (page not provided), the paper says cortisol helps limit the degree of prolonged hypoglycemia through metabolic effects. It also says cortisol has no immediate role in recovery from acute hypoglycemia. The claim’s broader emphasis on preventing hypoglycemia during biological stress is not established by these passages.

  • After antecedent hypoglycemia, GH responses were significantly suppressed.

    “After antecedent hypoglycemia, GH responses were significantly suppressed [ 22 ].”
  • GH induces glucose level changes over several hours by stimulating lipolysis in adipose tissue as well as ketogenesis and gluconeogenesis in the liver.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
