The purpose of this study is to examine important and significant problems, that of insulin resistance and muscle wasting after burn injury.
Burn injury induces insulin resistance and our investigators have previous shown the importance of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1)-mediated pathways. This project will establish the inhibitory effects of burn injury on IRS-1 mediated signaling in human skeletal muscle of burn patients.
