Acute Phase Proteins and Their Role in Periodontitis: A Review

Acute phase proteins and their use in the diagnosis of diseases in ruminants: a review

The acute phase response is a complex systemic early-defence system of reactions activated by trauma, infection, tissue damage, inflammation, stress or neoplasia. One of the most important elements of this response is the increased hepatic synthesis of some plasma proteins, collectively known as acute phase proteins. The discovery of these new biomarkers has allowed the clinical monitoring of d...

Acute phase proteins: a review of their function, behaviour and measurement in chickens

Acute Phase Proteins in Transplant Patients – Review

This review is to evaluate the usefulness of acute phase proteins in monitoring transplant patients. Acute phase reaction is a non-specific immune response evoked by many different stimuli. Acute phase proteins (APPs) that play an important role in this reaction help to restore homeostasis. APPs concentration and glycosylation changes during acute and chronic inflammation are commonly known and...

acute phase proteins efficacy in differential diagnosis

introduction: evaluating patient with acute scrotum is based on medical history (e.g. age), physical examination, blood tests, urine analysis and imaging studies. differential diagnosis may be difficult. efficacy of serum acute phase proteins in patients with acute scrotum was assessed in this study. materials and methods : 45 patients were recruited and allocated within three sub-groups; acute...

Some acute phase proteins, oxidative stress biomarkers and antioxidant enzyme activities in ewes with pregnancy toxemia

The aim of this study is to investigate antioxidant enzymes, oxidative stress biomarkers and the acute phase proteins levels for subclinical and clinical pregnancy toxemia and to determine the effect of early diagnosis on the success of curing. According to the results of clinical and biochemical parameters, from 39 ewes, 10 were healthy ewes (control group), 13 ewes had subclinical pregnancy t...
