Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is an important mediator for cross talk between nutritional signals and metabolic signals of insulin by downregulating insulin receptor substrate proteins. Therefore, mTOR inhibition could become a therapeutic strategy in insulin-resistant states, including insulin resistance induced by burn. We tested this hypothesis in the rat model of 30% TBSA full thickness...
Burn wound excision and grafting is a common clinical practice that decreases patient morbidity and mortality. It is not known, however, if the salutary effects of this procedure are related to effects on interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) α, and to reducing insulin resistance after burn. Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control, burn, burn±excision groups...
The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and euglycemic–hyperinsulinemic glucose clamps following a 30% TBSA full thickness third degree burn in rats. Sprague–Dawley rats weighing 160–170g received 30% TBSA full thickness third degree burn by immersing the back of trunk for 12s in a boiling water bath under anesthesia. Weight- and time-matched...
