A clinical trial evaluates a new centrally acting ββ-adrenergic agonist intended to treat attention deficits. Investigators monitor endocrine side effects during a standardized fasting test. Compared with placebo, the drug group shows higher plasma glucagon and higher plasma glucose after 12 hours of fasting, with no difference in measured plasma insulin. Which outcome would be expected if the drug increases sympathetic-like signaling to pancreatic islets while fasting?
