Severe thermal injury results in a profound hypermetabolic response and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and delayed rehabilitation of burn survivors. Serum 1H-NMR metabolomics was used to examine early global metabolic changes in the response to severe thermal injury (>15% TBSA)...
