Gene expression profiles and protein balance in skeletal muscle of burned children after β-adrenergic blockade

Abstract excerpt

Propranolol, a nonselective beta-blocker, has been shown effective in hypermetabolic burn patients by decreasing cardiac work, protein catabolism, and lipolysis. This study investigates the effect of propranolol on gene and protein expression changes in skeletal muscle of burned children by use of high-density oligonucleotide arrays to establish the genetic profiles and stable isotope technique to quantitate...
