Maladaptive cardiac metabolism is a common trigger of cardiac lipid accumulation and cardiac injury under serious burn challenge. Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is the key enzyme that catalyzes triglyceride hydrolysis; however, its alteration and impact on cardiac function following serious burn
OBJECTIVE
To explore the effects of medium and long-chain triglyceride on the immune function of burn patients during early postburn stage and its possible mechanism.
METHODS
Thirty burn patients with TBSA exceeding 30% were enrolled in this study and were randomly divided into two groups (n = 15 in
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of propranolol on peripheral lipolysis in massively burned children during treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), and to ascertain whether decreased free fatty acid availability for re-esterification would alter the
Lipid kinetics were studied in six severely burned patients who were treated with a high dose of exogenous insulin plus glucose to promote protein metabolism. The patients were 20+/-2-yr-old (SD) with 63+/-8% total body surface area burned. They were studied in a randomized order (a) in the fed
Objective: To explore the effect and potential mechanism of cardiac adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) overexpression on burn-induced cardiac injury. Methods: Eight-week-old C57BL/6J mice with cardiac ATGL overexpression driven by the myosin heavy chain (MHC) promoter (MHC-ATGL burn
This report investigates the effect of various levels of medium-chain/fish oil structured triglycerides on protein and energy metabolism in hypermetabolic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (192 to 226 g) were continuously infused with isovolemic diets that provided 200 kcal/kg per day and 2 g of amino
BACKGROUND
There is controversy regarding whether increasing isolated soy protein (ISP) with or without flaxseed oil (FO), as functional foods, would lead to reduce muscle catabolism and cachexia in burn patients.
METHODS
One hundred and eighty-eight patients were assessed for eligibility in this
The present study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of a physical mixture of long-chain and medium-chain triglycerides with an emulsion consisting of chemically synthesized triglycerides composed of medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids in similar proportions. Sprague-Dawley rats
The endocrine basis for control of metabolism in nonthyroidal illness is not yet understood. Burn injury is associated with reduced serum concentrations of thyroid hormones and with resting hypermetabolism. One index of severity is total burn size (TBS, % body surface). After overnight fasting and
The inflammatory response initiated upon burn injury is also associated with extensive metabolic adjustments. While there is a significant body of literature on the characterization of these changes at the metabolite level, little is known on the mechanisms of induction, especially with respect to
OBJECTIVE
Obesity influences metabolism and increases the incidence of clinical complications and worsens outcomes in pediatric burn patients.
METHODS
Retrospective, single-center study.
METHODS
In all, 592 severely burned pediatric patients who had burns covering more than 30% of the total body
BACKGROUND
The primary goal of this study was to investigate hepatic fatty acid (FA) metabolism after severe thermal injury.
METHODS
Sixteen pigs were divided into control (n = 8) and burn (n = 8, with 40% full thickness total body surface area burned) groups. Catheters were inserted in the right
Clinical and animal studies demonstrate that alcohol intoxication at the time of injury worsens postburn outcome. The purpose of this study was to determine the role and mechanism of Kupffer cell derangement in exacerbating postburn end organ damage in alcohol-exposed mice.
Interventional
To understand the alterations in lipid metabolism following burn injury, 29 patients with burns, 18 survivors for the first 15 days and 11 non-survivors until death, were studied for total fatty acid (FA) profiles. No specific dietary fat was given. The plasma total FA profile was determined by
