Which of the following statement(s) is/are true concerning metabolic derangements in sepsis and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome which may follow progressive shock?
A. Alterations in glucose metabolism lead to the development of efficient substrate utilization
B. A progressive rise in serum triglyceride levels result from less efficient clearance and increased hepatic lipogenesis
C. A net negative nitrogen balance occurs due to the oxidative metabolism of proteins to meet energy needs
D. The serum aromatic amino acids fall rapidly as they are actively used in oxidative metabolism
