Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Insulin decreases hepatic acute phase protein levels in severely burned children.
Severe burn induces the hepatic acute phase response. In this study, we wondered whether continuous insulin treatment decreases acute phase protein levels in the severely burned. ⋯ Continuous insulin treatment decreases acute phase protein levels after a severe burn. The results suggest insulin downregulation of the hepatic acute phase response to injury.
