Review: Insulin resistance and mitochondrial dysfunction following severe burn injury.
Peptides 2020 Februrary 9
The insulin signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in glucose metabolism and metabolic homeostasis. Disruption of this pathway is commonly seen in critical illness such as following severe burn injuries where homeostatic control is lost, leading to "insulin resistance" with poor blood glucose control. The aberrant signaling pathways involved in insulin resistance following burn injury include increases in hyperglycemic stress hormones, pro-inflammatory cytokines and free radical production. Leakage of mitochondrial sequestered self-antigens and signaling between mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum also contribute to insulin resistance. Greater understanding of molecular processes involved in burn-related insulin resistance could potentially lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches to improve patient management.
