INSULIN ATTENUATES THE CYTOKINE RESPONSE IN A BURN WOUND INFECTION MODEL
Abstract

The aftermath of a burn is frequently complicated by infections and septic events that additionally increase mortality and morbidity. The aim of the present study was to investigate if insulin attenuates the cytokine response of burned mice challenged with Pseudomonas.
