Central Nervous System
The central nervous system (CNS) has an integral role in activation of stress responses via relaying of afferent impulses from the site of injury to the hypothalamus [115]. As a result, hypothalamic inhibition of the pituitary is alleviated or alter­natively, the hypothalamus produces hormones (e.g., corticotrophin- releasing hormone (CRH), growth hormone­releasing hormone (GHRH)) that stimulate production and release of pituitary hormones [115]. These include anterior pituitary corticotrophin (ACTH) and growth hormone (GH), which ultimately have important metabolic consequences. ACTH stimulates production of the stress hormone cortisol in the adrenal cortex, which promotes liver gluconeogenesis, hyperglycemia, and net muscle protein catabolism [116, 117]. Similar to cortisol, GH also increases blood glucose levels via stimulation of glycogenolysis, promoting post-burn hypergly­cemia and long-term growth abnormalities in pediatric burn patients [115].
Importantly, the CNS has an integral role in driving the post-burn sympathetic response. Acetylcholine release at the splanchnic nerve-chromaffin cell junction provides a stimulus for catecholamine secretion for the adrenal medulla and binding to the respective receptors [118]. Epinephrine binds to α1, α2, β1, and β2 adrenergic receptors, norepinephrine binds to α1, α2, and β1, and dopamine binds to D1 and D2 receptors [115]. Activation of post-burn sympathetic responses also may activate stress and inflammatory pathways including p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), JNK, and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB), promoting inflammation and immunosuppression after burn [119]. Catecholamines also target various post-burn metabolic processes, driving the initial stages of the hypermetabolic response [120]. However, while elevated catecholamine levels after burn are associated with stress, inflammation, and hypermetabolism, the exact

function of the CNS on burn-induced hypermetabolism is still unknown at this time.
Management ofHypermetabolism: Conservative Measures
Metabolic changes that occur after burn function in supply­ing energy support to preserve immune function, body tis­sues, and healing [121]. However, thermally injured patients exhibit prolonged, consistent whole-body and muscle catabo­lism, necessitating nutritional and medical support. Clinicians and scientists have targeted the post-burn hypermetabolic response utilizing several different therapeutic approaches, including conservative management and pharmacological intervention. Key nonpharmacological strategies include nutritional therapy and early mobilization and will be dis­cussed in this section.
Nutrition—Calculating Energy Consumption andNutrient Supplementation
Nutritional therapy aims to provide patients with sufficient energy, fluids, and nutrients (e.g., protein) to maintain vital organ and immune function and minimize further tissue loss. In the late twentieth century, high caloric feeding was a thera­peutic strategy. Wilmore etal. suggested 8000kcal/day, while Curreri proposed a 25 kcal/kg body weight plus 40 kcal/%TBSA burn [122, 123]. While the latter was the most frequently used formula between 1970 and 1980, Pennisi created a more comprehensive formula in 1976 which included an estimation of protein needs. Currently, there are several formulas developed for critically ill patients, including the Toronto, Schofield, American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), and Ireton-Jones formulae (Table2.1).

Currently, the appropriate caloric amount is still under debate as is the composition of nutritional support, and recent feeding regimens rely on resting energy expenditure (REE) in order to provide sufficient energy supply and nutrients [125127]. Early enteral nutrition (within 12 hours) ameliorates post-burn catabolism and improves outcomes, but it is important to note that this is a delicate balance [128,
129]. Undernutrition reduces immunocompetence, delays
healing, and increases dependency on mechanical ventilation and risk of infection while overfeeding (excess calories or protein) is associated with hyperglycemia, organ fatty infil­tration, and azotemia. This underscores the need to estimate REE and accurately calculate caloric requirements [130]. REE can be estimated based on body mass, age, and gender although caloric requirements based on these factors can still be an overestimate [131, 132]. Energy requirements after burn fluctuate, and static formulas often result in underfeed­ing during high energy consumption and overfeeding later in the clinical course [133]. The gold standard for determining energy expenditure is indirect calorimetry, which can be used to confirm adequate nutritional support by calculating oxy­gen (O2) consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) production [132, 134, 135]. The ratio of CO2/O2 (respiratory quotient (RQ)) is used to determine adequate feeding, and overfeed­ing results in an RQ >1.0 while normal metabolism is between 0.75 and 0.90 [136].
After determining a specific caloric goal, ratios of the key macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids) need to be determined. Carbohydrates are an important nutrient source in burn patients due to their protein-sparing effects relative to high-fat diets, as highlighted in clinical studies [137]. However, high-carbohydrate diets are limited by the ability to oxidize and utilize glucose. Glucose administration >9mg/ kg/min cannot be oxidized sufficiently, and higher glucose administration rates can lead to hyperglycemia, glycosuria,

and dehydration [116, 138]. Hence, higher carbohydrate sup­plementation may not be feasible although this may be lower than the estimated caloric expenditure.
Protein is also important in patients due to enhanced muscle catabolism in response to burns, necessitating supple­mentation to maintain adequate wound healing and immune function and allay lean body mass loss [139]. Administering supraphysiological doses improves protein synthesis and nitrogen balance although it does not eliminate catabolism [140]. It is important to note that protein (1.5–2.0g/kg/day in adults, 2.5–4.0g/kg/day in children) should be given with suf­ficient carbohydrates and fat to minimize use of protein as an energy source rather than as nutrients to maintain muscle mass and promote wound healing. In particular, glutamine and arginine were found to play an important role after burn. Glutamine provides energy for lymphocytes and enterocytes and serves as a precursor for the antioxidant glutathione. Clinically, glutamine supplementation improves burn patient outcomes and minimizes length of hospital stay (LOS) [141,
142]. Conversely, while arginine supplementation improves
burn wound healing and immune responsiveness, it is poten­tially harmful overall and is not recommended in burn patients [143].
Lipolysis is enhanced after burn although utilization of lipids as an energy source is decreased [129, 144]. Rather, liberated FFAs accumulate in organs such as the liver. Lipid supplementations are recommended to minimize fatty acid deficiency but in limited doses (no more than 15% total calo­ries) since increased fat consumption can worsen immune function. In addition to quantity, the fatty acid subtype needs to be taken into consideration. Omega-6-containing formulas can generate a pro-inflammatory response while formulas with a greater proportion of omega-3 are associated with an improved immune response, glycemic regulation, and patient outcomes [145, 146]. Some enteral formulas have an omega-6: omega-3 ratio from 2.5:1 to 6:1, while “immune enhancing” formulas have a more balanced composition of 1:1 [133]. It is important to note that although studies suggest that lower

omega-6 levels and sufficient lipid supplementation are ben­eficial, there is still debate with regard to enteral formula composition and lipid quantity in burn patients [133].
In addition to macronutrients, micronutrient (vitamin and trace element) supplementation is also crucial after burns [147]. In particular, vitamins A and C improve epithe­lial growth and collagen cross-linking, respectively [148]. Vitamin D, which is involved in maintaining bone density, is decreased after burn resulting in bone demineralization [149]. Other nutrients that are lost in burns and have an integral role in wound healing and immunity are iron (Fe), copper (Cu), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn) [150152]. Fe and Cu serve as a cofactor for oxygen scavengers such as super­oxide dismutase and other forms of endogenous antioxi­dant defense [153]. Cu is necessary for collagen production and wound healing, and Cu deficiency and corresponding decreased levels of its transporter ceruloplasmin are impli­cated in immune dysfunction, arrythmias, and poor wound healing in burn patients [154, 155]. Zn also has a function in wound healing and at the molecular level, protein synthesis, DNA replication, and immune cell function. Se similarly is involved in cell- mediated immunity, and dietary Se influ­ences leukocyte functions such as adherence, migration, and cytokine secretion [156]. Additionally, several seleno­proteins can regulate cellular redox processes and immune cell activation [156]. Taken together, micro- in addition to macronutrient supplementation is important in burn patient management.

Environment, Early Excision, andExercise
Hypermetabolism may be an adaptive response to generate energy to offset heat loss. Thus, raising ambient temperature from 25°C to 33°C may obviate the need to increase core body temperate, which increases by 2°C after major burn. In patients with burns >40% TBSA, increasing ambient temperature can diminish REE from a 2.0 to 1.4-fold

increase [157]. In addition to environmental modulation, patient factors are also important in managing post-burn hypermetabolism. In particular, early excision (within 72h) and wound coverage decrease burn-induced inflammation and activation of stress responses. This in turn substantially reduces REE and hypermetabolism, improving mortality rates [7, 158, 159].
A key component of severe burns and accompanying hypermetabolism is persistent skeletal muscle catabolism, which is further exacerbated by prolonged bed rest and physical inactivity. Rehabilitation programs are implemented although muscle catabolism and poor muscle strength can persist. However, resistance exercise programs can increase muscle strength and hypertrophy and be safely incorporated into routine burn care, mitigating frailty [132, 160]. In a study in burned children, resistance exercise over a 12-week period decreased REE and may attenuate sympathetic responses [161]. This was accompanied by increased lean body mass by over 20-fold in addition to enhanced muscle strength, total work, and power [161]. Ultimately, enhanced muscle strength and ability to do work allow for more rapid rehabilitation and return to normal activities of daily leaving, improving outcomes.
Management ofHypermetabolism: Pharmacological Intervention
Although non-pharmacologic interventions are employed to combat hypermetabolism, implementation of several key medical interventions is critical for clinical efficacy. Currently, there are various pharmaceutical agents used in burn care, including propranolol, growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), insulin, metformin, and oxandrolone. These therapeutics strategies are utilized to minimize catabo­lism and promote anabolism, ultimately improving burn patient morbidity and mortality.

Propranolol
Prolonged, substantial catecholamine production is a hall­mark of thermal injuries that ultimately contributes to the hypermetabolic response. Increased catecholamine levels contribute to generalized post-burn catabolism in addition to increased REE, lipolysis, and muscle catabolism via stimu­lation of α and β receptors [40]. The non-specific β-blocker propranolol is ideally administered post-resuscitation (3–10 days after burn) to minimize pronounced catecholamine- dependent changes [162]. Directly targeting sympathetic pathways can reduce cardiac work by decreas­ing heart rate by 15–20% and mitigates blood loss during grafting [13, 48, 163]. Moreover, treatment has supplemen­tary benefits in addition to directly targeting sympathetic pathways. For example, propranolol is associated with improved wound healing, decreased healing time, and shorter hospital LOS [163].
Studies have shown that propranolol is a potent anti­catabolic agent and yields positive outcomes when combined with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), which will be discussed subsequently [137]. Combination therapy can ameliorate hypermetabolism and inflammation while eliminating the deleterious effects of rhGH monotherapy [164]. In addition to anti-catabolic effects, propranolol has an anabolic function as well. Treatment in severely burned chil­dren increases muscle protein balance by 82% above baseline in concert with upregulation of genes involved in muscle metabolism [48]. Long-term (1year) treatment in pediatric patients significantly reduces bone loss, heart rate, and REE without compromising immune function and increasing infec­tion incidence [137].
Although there is a risk that enhanced endogenous cate­cholamine production combined with β-blockade could result in unopposed α-adrenergic activity, vasoconstriction, and ischemia, this has not been unequivocally demonstrated in burn patients [165]. Other potential side effects, including hypotension and bradycardia, can easily be diagnosed and

managed in a burn intensive care unit. Despite potential negative effects, there is sufficient evidence in pediatric burn populations regarding efficacy of propranolol treatment. While there are fewer studies establishing propranolol in adult and elderly burn hypermetabolism management, clini­cal trials are currently ongoing [166, 167]. However, it is important to note that propranolol administration is not simple and effectively dosing is a challenge. Pediatric patients are typically given 1–4mg/kg/day, while adults usually start at 10mg QID.The adult dose is increased in order to maintain heart rate below 100bpm while maintaining blood pressure.
Recombinant Human Growth Hormone
Human GH is an endogenous anabolic hormone produced by the pituitary gland that has receptors and binding proteins in various tissues. Burn patients may exhibit disruptions in the GH/IGF-1/IGFBP-3 axis likely as a consequence of excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine production, favoring catabolism. Thus, rhGH injection could be a possible therapeutic strategy.
In adults, a 3-month rhGH regimen enhanced lean body mass and muscle power while positively regulating IGF-1 and adiponectin levels [168]. Other studies in children yielded similar beneficial effects with regard to recovery of lean body mass. As mentioned earlier, Hart etal. investigated long-term (1 year) therapy with propranolol and rhGH after burn in children, indicating that rhGH increases lean body mass, height and weight gain, and bone mineral density compared to placebo [169]. Importantly, long-term treatment increases thyroid hormone-binding sites, ameliorating post-burn growth arrest in children [170]. Similar results were seen in another study by Branski etal. with the added finding of a diminished hypermetabolic response [171]. Jeschke etal. also demonstrated that rhGH administration in children signifi­cantly decreases hypermetabolic and hyperinflammatory responses especially when combined with propranolol [164].
