Enhanced albumin synthesis in severely burned adults.

Albumin plays an important role in maintaining physiological homeostasis. Although decreased albumin concentration has been well described as an acute-phase response following injury, it is unclear whether the decrease is due to compromised synthesis of albumin, dilution, or imbalance between synthesis and breakdown rates, particularly after injury. We investigated changes in albumin synthesis ...

Long-Term Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Dysfunction is Associated with Hypermetabolism in Severely Burned Children.
