Project Details
Description
The acute injury response, which generally occurs in the absence of
feeding, is characterized by the catabolism of body stores of protein,
carbohydrate and fat to provide substrates needed to meet increased
energy demands and to supply the metabolic intermediates necessary for
gluconeogenesis and protein synthesis during this period. Dr. Chwals is
studying the use of growth hormone to promote anabolic metabolism in
acutely ill infants following surgical injury.
