Combined Hormonal Infusion Simulates the Metabolic Response to Injury

Manipulating the metabolic response to injury.

In this short review we will concentrate on just one of the features of the metabolic response to injury (classified as accidental trauma, injury or sepsis) which are collectively known as the 'flow' phase. These include an increase in energy expenditure (hypermetabolism), changes in substrate utilisation (insulin resistance) and the focus of this chapter muscle wasting or catabolism. It is rec...

Metabolic response to starvation, injury and sepsis

Metabolic impact of combined hormonal contraceptives containing estradiol.

INTRODUCTION Is the replacement of ethinyl-estradiol (EE) with estradiol (E2) in combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) associated with fewer metabolic effects, leading to a further improvement on safety of hormonal contraceptives? AREAS COVERED This is a narrative review paper including all available data on the metabolic impact of CHCs containing E2 published in English up to December 2015...

The hormonal response to exercise.

In the present paper, the hormonal (or rather the autonomic neuroendocrine) changes elicited during exercise are outlined. The author’s working hypothesis concerning the control of the hormonal response to exercise is mentioned, and the influence of the autonomic neuroendocrine system on exercise metabolism is discussed. The exposition is mainly based on the documentation given in Galbo (I 983)...

Modulating the metabolic response to injury and infection.

The host metabolic response to injury, be it defined as traumatic or infectious in nature, is characterized by diverse alterations in substrate turnover at the systemic and tissue levels (Lowry, 1986; Goldstein & Elwyn, 1989). Numerous studies attest to the extent of altered metabolic processes in injured and septic patient populations. For example, the isotopically determined rates of turnover...
