Hormones and cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor, may initiate a heightened metabolic response to injury or infection.The increased metabolism associated with physiological stress in these cases is termed a hypermetabolic state.The increased metabolic rate results in insulin insensitivity and hyperglycemia.In addition, stored triglycerides are mobilized, and the synthesis of acute-phase proteins, such as C-reactive protein, is increased.In a hypermetabolic state, there is a negative nitrogen balance which would be indicated by a decreased level of urine urea nitrogen.
