The mechanistic basis of metabolic response to surgery and postoperative insulin resistance in patients having abdominal surgery
Postoperative insulin resistance (POIR) is a hallmark feature in patients having major abdominal surgery. Surgical stress may induce changes in metabolic pathways that perturb glucose homeostasis, resulting in stress hyperglycaemia. The studies described in the present thesis set out to examine the...
