Dietary l-carnitine Supplementation Modifies the Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Phase Reaction in Dairy Cows [PDF]
l-carnitine plays an important role in energy metabolism through supporting the transport of activated fatty acids to the subcellular site of β-oxidation. An acute phase reaction (APR) is known as an energy consuming process.

Sialic acid level reflects the disturbances of glycosylation and acute-phase reaction in rheumatic diseases [PDF]
In the rheumatic diseases, the changes in the carbohydrate part of serum glycoproteins occur and these abnormalities can be monitored by serum level of total and free sialic acid. The aim of this study was to evaluate the total and free sialic acid level

The feline acute phase reaction
The acute phase reaction (APR) is a response to potentially pathogenic stimuli. It begins with the release of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha from inflammatory cells. These cytokines induce fever, leucocytosis and release of serum acute phase proteins (APPs).

An acute phase reaction from zoledronate mimicking symptoms seen in opioid withdrawal: a case report [PDF]
Background Zoledronate, a bisphosphonate, is a potent first-line treatment for osteoporosis. It is also a preferred treatment for hypercalcemia especially when unresponsive to intravenous fluids. Bisphosphonates can cause acute phase reactions that mimic

The Interaction of Acute‐Phase Reaction and Efficacy for Osteoporosis After Zoledronic Acid: HORIZON Pivotal Fracture Trial [PDF]
Zoledronic acid (ZOL) as a yearly infusion is effective in reducing fracture risk. An acute‐phase reaction (APR), consisting of flu‐like symptoms within 3 days after infusion, is commonly seen.

Contribution of acute-phase reaction proteins to the diagnosis and treatment of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) [PDF]
The emergence of 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is currently a global concern. In this study, our goal was to explore the changing expression levels of acute-phase reaction proteins (APRPs) in the serum of COVID-19 patients and to elucidate ...

Relationship between gastro-intestinal complaints and endotoxaemia, cytokine release and the acute-phase reaction during and after a long-distance triathlon in highly trained men. [PDF]
The aim of the present study was to establish whether gastro-intestinal (GI) complaints observed during and after ultra-endurance exercise are related to gut ischaemia-associated leakage of endotoxins [lipopolysaccharide (LPS)] into the circulation and ...

PREVENTIVE ROLE OF VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTATION FOR ACUTE PHASE REACTION AFTER BISPHOSPHONATE INFUSION IN PAGET'S DISEASE. [PDF]
CONTEXT Intravenous amino-bisphosphonates (N-BPs) can induce an acute phase reaction (APR) in up to 40-70% of first infusions, causing discomfort and often requiring intervention with analgesics or antipyretics.

Comparison of acute phase reaction and postoperative stress in pigs undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic versus thoracotomy pneumonectomy [PDF]
BackgroundVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been used for many thoracic diseases as an alternate approach to thoracotomy. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical outcome of pneumonectomy using VATS with that using thoracotomy ...
