Abstract:
To determine the effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on postburn hypermetabolism postburn, sixteen male minipigs were inflicted with 35% TBSA full thickness burns, and the burned minipigs were then randomly divided into two groups: rhGH group and control group. REEs were monitored by means of Cardiorespiratory Diagnostic Systems (Medical Graphics Corporation, USA). The sequential changes in serum levels of GH, IGF 1,insulin,glucagon,cortisol,albumin were analyzed. The level of REE is significantly lower in rhGH treated groupas as compared with that of control, while the serum concentrations of GH, IGF 1, albumin are higher in the former, Body weighf gain is observed in rhGH treated group with no significant effect on serum concentration of insulin,glucagon and cortisol. RhGH therapy is thus helpful in the control of hypermetabolism after extensive burn.
