Elevated levels of C-reactive protein and pig major acute phase protein in lame gestating sows

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionLameness is a common clinical issue in gestating sows and a leading cause for early culling and antibiotic treatment. Diagnostic tools are limited, but acute acute phase proteins (APPs) could offer a fast and minimally invasive method for ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...

Effects of anabolic steroids on acute phase responses in intra-abdominal sepsis

Mediators of Inflammation, 1997
The acute phase response is an important adaptive response to sepsis and injury. As anabolic steroids increase protein synthesis we postulated that these agents might also increase hepatic acute phase protein synthesis.

Leveraging current insights on IL‐10‐producing dendritic cells for developing effective immunotherapeutic approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Leucogram and serum acute phase protein concentrations in queens submitted to conventional or videolaparoscopic ovariectomy Leucograma e concentrações séricas de proteínas de fase aguda de gatas submetidas à ovariectomia convencional ou por videolaparoscopia

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2010
Thirty health queens were submitted to ovariectomy by conventional technique or by videolaparoscopy. In order to study the intensity of inflammatory response by means of acute phase protein analysis and white blood cell count, serum samples were taken ...

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

Paraoxonase‐1 activity evaluation as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in horses and foals

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2020
Background In several species, paraoxonase‐1 (PON‐1) decreases during inflammation, because of the presence of oxidative stress; its measurement recently has been validated in horses, but its role as a clinical biomarker is unknown.

Effects of Dietary β-Mannanase Supplementation on Growth Performance, Apparent Total Tract Digestibility, Intestinal Integrity, and Immune Responses in Weaning Pigs

Animals, 2020
The experiment aimed to investigate the effects of dietary β-mannanase supplementation on growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients, intestinal integrity, and the immunological and oxidative stress parameters in weaning ...

Use of C‐reactive protein concentration in evaluation of diskospondylitis in dogs

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2021
Background C‐reactive protein (CRP) is a positive acute phase protein that increases in many inflammatory conditions of dogs. Serum CRP concentration has important diagnostic and prognostic utility in humans with vertebral osteomyelitis.

Plasma C-Reactive Protein and Pentraxin-3 Reference Intervals During Normal Pregnancy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Although several biomarkers are available to monitor the acute phase response, the short pentraxin C-reactive protein (CRP) is dominating in clinical practice.
