It has been suggested that hypermetabolism after a neurotrauma may be initiated by injured or dead tissue, perfusion deficits, or infection (Donaldson, Borzatta, & Matossian, 2000) and that hypercatabolism is related to the severity of the injury and secondary release of hormones such as insulin, glucagon, cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine (Vizzini & Aranda-Michel, 2011).
