Glucose Metabolism in Burns—What Happens?

Abstract: Severe burns represent an important challenge for patients and medical teams. They lead to profound metabolic alterations, trigger a systemic inflammatory response, crush the immune defense, impair the function of the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, etc. The metabolism is shifted towards a hypermetabolic state, and this situation might persist for years after the burn, having deleterious consequences for the patient’s health. Severely burned patients lack energy substrates and react in order to produce and maint… Show more

“…In the early stages of burn injury, an increase in glycolysis is beneficial for the body to withstand the injury and promote repair. However, if glycolysis is activated for an extended period, it not only hampers the energy supply but also leads to cellular damage and metabolic disorders due to lactate accumulation, resulting in unfavourable outcomes [ 38 ].…”

“…Our study excluded diabetic patients and focused on stress-induced hyperglycemia at admission. Burn injuries are accompanied by severe stress responses, which leads to the release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, inhibiting tyrosine kinase and reducing tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptors 25 . In severe burns, IL-6 contributes to insulin resistance in the liver and skeletal muscles, acting upon insulin receptor substrates 26 .…”

“…In decreasing blood glucose levels, insulin acts as an anabolic hormone by increasing the diffusion of glucose through cell membranes in tissues. The anabolic effects of insulin hormone include inhibiting glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and ketogenesis in the liver, increasing gluconeogenesis in bones and decreasing lipolysis in adipose tissue (Badoiu et al, 2021;Dewi et al, 2017).…”
