Glucosuria occurring in conjunction with myocardial infarction may be caused by:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucosuria occurs when the glucose level in the blood exceeds the reabsorption capacity of the kidneys. In myocardial infarction, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to the release of epinephrine, which can inhibit insulin secretion. This results in elevated blood glucose levels, leading to glucosuria. Norepinephrine is not directly involved in insulin secretion and therefore is not the cause of glucosuria in this case.
