Hormonal control of metabolism in trauma and sepsis.

Journal article

The metabolic changes occurring after injury and in sepsis are still, more than 60 years after their relatively complete description, a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Although many of their deleterious aspects can be overcome by active nutritional support, this is primarily an empirical means of treatment.
