burns/triacylglycerol

OBJECTIVE To quantify the various components of splanchnic free fatty acid and very-low-density lipoprotein-triacylglycerol (VLDL-TAG) metabolism in order to gain insight into the mechanisms responsible for the development of fatty liver in severely burned patients, and to determine if decreasing

Burn injury mediated hypermetabolic syndrome leads to increased mortality among severe burn victims, due to liver failure and muscle wasting. Metabolic changes may persist up to two years following the injury. Thus, understanding the underlying mechanisms of the pathology is crucially important to

Trauma and critical illness are associated with a stress response that results in increased skeletal muscle protein catabolism, which is thought to facilitate the synthesis of acute phase proteins in the liver as well as proteins involved in immune function. What makes burn injury a unique form of

Fat oxidation provides a fuel for many tissues and it provides an important signal to decrease glucose utilization and oxidation in muscle and so conserve glucose for essential organs such as the brain. The control of fatty acid oxidation is achieved in part through its plasma concentrations, which

Hydroxycut, an herbal supplement not currently defined as a drug, is frequently sold over the counter to increase exercise performance, build muscles, and burn fat. The effects of 8 wk of hydroxycut-induced changes on blood lipid profile in rats fed with either regular or high-fat diet were

Acyl-CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MGAT) plays an important role in dietary fat absorption by catalyzing a rate-limiting step in the re-synthesis of diacylglycerols in enterocytes. The present study reports further characterization of MGAT2, a newly identified intestinal MGAT (Cao, J.,

The effect of omega-3 fat emulsion on nitrogen retention and kinetics in relation to fatty acid profile were investigated in burned rats receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). A fat emulsion of a structured symmetrical triacylglycerol containing only eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
