Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation and activation of heart PFK-2 by AMPK has a role in the stimulation of glycolysis during ischaemia.

TL;DR: AMPK phosphorylates and activates heart PFK-2 in vitro and in intact cells, and is likely to be involved in the stimulation of heart glycolysis during ischaemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin therapy protects the central and peripheral nervous system of intensive care patients

TL;DR: Preventing even moderate hyperglycemia with insulin during intensive care protected the central and peripheral nervous systems, with clinical consequences such as shortening of intensive care dependency and possibly better long-term rehabilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introductory to the ESPEN Guidelines on Enteral Nutrition: Terminology, Definitions and General Topics

TL;DR: In this chapter terms and definitions used throughout all guidelines are explained and more general questions, which might be important in most indications are dealt with, i.e. use of fibre containing and diabetes formulae.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Sick and the Weak: Neuropathies/Myopathies in the Critically Ill

TL;DR: A classification of different ICUAW forms (CIM, CIP, sepsis-induced, steroid-denervation myopathy) and pathophysiological mechanisms from clinical and animal model data are proposed and highlighted, allowing separation of risk factors that may trigger distinct mechanisms contributing to weakness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel insights into the neuroendocrinology of critical illness

TL;DR: A uniformly reduced pulsatile secretion of ACTH, TSH, LH, prolactin (PRL) and GH has been observed in protracted critical illness, causing diminished stimulation of several target organs and metabolic improvement was noted with the combined infusion of GHRP and TRH.
