Study Notes

  1. Physiological stress leads to hormonal and metabolic adaptations known as the stress response.
  2. The stress response is characterized by inflammation, accelerated catabolism, and increased respiration rate and cardiac output.
  3. Energy reserves are mobilized, leading to elevated glucose levels.
  4. Prolonged stress can lead to poor growth, muscle wasting, or increased susceptibility to illness.
  5. The stress response is controlled by hormones released in the blood after injury.
  6. Counter-regulatory hormones promote hypercatabolism and hypermetabolism.
  7. Catecholamines cause the heart to beat faster, breathing to accelerate, blood pressure to rise, and metabolic rate to increase.
  8. Glucagon triggers glucose production, and cortisol promotes protein catabolism.
  9. Inflammation may increase the risk for malnutrition.
  10. Sepsis, trauma, burns, and surgery are metabolic stressors that can increase nutrient needs and cause negative nitrogen balance.
