About

The main objective of the present study is to assess the effect of the resisted exercise on insulin resistance post burn.

Full description

A burn injury represents the fourth most common type of trauma globally, though it is associated with the most devastating consequences. Severe burn injuries, encompassing 20% of the total body surface area (TBSA) in adults, present a unique challenge compared with other forms of trauma given the magnitude and persistence of systemic deregulation. Indeed, an extensive inflammatory response develops immediately following a severe burn to promote wound healing. This period, known as the "ebb" phase, is comparable with a fight-or-flight response and lasts for the first 72-96 h post injury .

Moreover, burn-induced muscle catabolism places a significant burden on the recovery process, as a 10%-30% loss impairs immune responses and delays wound healing, thereby increasing the risk of infection, and a 40% loss becomes fatal. Despite a mountainous effort to prevent muscle catabolism and wasting. Therefore, a better understanding of the pathophysiology and consequences of burn-induced skeletal muscle wasting is pivotal to alleviating hyper metabolism and reducing morbidity and mortality patients with severe burns .

Hence, extensive burn injury produce clinical syndromes characterized in part by "insulin resistance, it is unclear if these insulin resistant states are identical. To test if the maximal biological effectiveness of insulin is altered in burned patients
