Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to find ways to improve wound healing and decrease the negative effects of trauma from burn injury.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study involves research and the investigators hope to learn the following: how or what effect one or more anabolic ("tissue building") agents have on muscle metabolism, wound healing, and immune function after severe burn. The agents include the following: growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-1 in combination with its binding proteins, insulin, Beta-adrenergic blockers, Alpha Adrenergic Agonist, anabolic steroids such as testosterone, Oxandrolone and nandrolone, ketoconazole and its derivatives, dehydroepiandrosterone, fenofibrate, diet or the application of skin substitute.
