S. No. | CNS site―effect of hormone and others | Autonomic system | Plasma glucose | Liver glycogen |
1 | VMH | Sympathetic | Increased | Decreased |
2 | LH | Parasympathetic | Decreased | Increased |
3 | Intraventricular administration of 2-deoxy glucose | Increase sympathetic activity | Increased | Decreased |
4 | Insulin and response to hypoglycemia | Spinal cord section or vagal nerve damage | No effect seen on counter regulatory hormone i.e. glucagon | |
5. | VMH lesion |
| Decrease counter regulatory hormone response to hypoglycemia | |
6 | GE neurons―VMH/ ARC/ PVH | Raised glucose | Increase release of GABA Results in inhibition of counter regulatory hormones | |
7 | GI neurons | Decreased glucose | Releases nor epinephrine glutamate and Stimulates counter regulatory hormones |
