Substrate turnover after injury.

Journal article

This review is concerned with turnover of plasma 'energy substrates' - principally glucose, fatty acids and ketone bodies - after injury and in sepsis. In both states, there is an initial mobilization of fuel stores followed, in severe conditions, by a 'shock phase' in which there are inhibitory effects on metabolism, particularly that of carbohydrate. The later responses to injury and chronic sepsis, characterized by increased metabolic rate and urinary nitrogen excretion, involve increased ...
