Changes Acute Phase Proteins by Radiation Treatment

Changes of acute-phase proteins during different phases of the estrous cycle in Ovsynch-synchronized Holstein cows

Background: Acute-phase proteins (APPs) may be increased due to different stresses during estrus phase in farm animals. Aims: Determining changes of APPs at different phases of non-synchronized estrous cycle group (NSEG), and Ovsynch-synchronized estrous cycle group (SEG) in Holstein cows. Methods: Twelve non-pregnant clinically and paraclinicaly healthy Holstein cows with a body condition scor...

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...

Experimental Ehrlichia canis infection changes acute-phase proteins.

Early diagnosis of canine ehrlichiosis favors prompt institution of treatment and improves the prognosis for the animal, since this disease causes mortality among dogs. Studies have shown that determining the concentration of acute-phase proteins (APPs) may contribute towards early detection of disease and aid in predicting the prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the APP profile in dogs exp...

Acute Phase Proteins – Regulation

Acute-phase Proteins

The discovery of large amounts of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum of patients during the acute phase of pneumococcal pneumonia in 1930 focused interest on the plasma protein changes that accompany inflammatory states. CRP and other plasma proteins whose concentrations rose significantly under such circumstances were accordingly referred to as acute-phase proteins (APP). The subsequent rea...
