Adrenaline, a stress hormone, triggers the liver to release glucose, leading to higher blood sugar levels. This process enhances energy availability for the body's immediate use, preparing it for quick responses to stress or danger. Hence, an increase in adrenaline correlates with elevated blood sugar concentrations.

Why are patients with a pheochromocytoma often hyperglycemic?

Pheochromocytomas are tumors of the adrenal medulla (the inner part of the adrenal gland). The adrenal medulla normally produces adrenaline, one of the body's major stress hormones. Adrenaline does several things to make it possible to react to a stressful situation: it increases blood sugar concentration, increases breakdown of fat for energy, increases blood flow to muscles, makes the pupils dilate to let more light reach the eyes, etc. When adrenaline is oversecreted, which is what happens in a pheochromocytoma, all of these effects of adrenaline are exaggerated. The increase in blood sugar concentration is what you're referring to. An exaggerated blood glucose concentration is called hyperglycemia.
