Acute phase proteins in major depression

Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 1997
Extensive evidence exists associating depression with changes in the immune system. The present study evaluates the levels of complement components C3 and C4, C-reactive proteins, and IL-6 in patients who met DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder, as well as controls.

Fetuin: an acute phase protein in cattle

Journal of Comparative Physiology B, 1992
Fetuin is a plasma protein present in high concentrations during fetal development in animals of the order Artiodactyla. Its role is not known. The human homologue of fetuin--alpha 2HS glycoprotein--has been shown to be a negative acute phase protein in adult plasma. In the present study, the concentration of fetuin was measured in the serum of healthy

Regulation of cytokines, cytokine inhibitors, and acute-phase proteins following anti-TNF-alpha therapy in rheumatoid arthritis.

Journal of Immunology, 1999
Treatment with a chimeric mAb to TNF-alpha has been shown to suppress inflammation and improve patient well-being in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the mechanisms of action of such treatment have not been fully explored.

Acute phase reactant proteins.

Immunology series, 1990
This chapter focuses on the nonspecific changes in plasma protein profiles that accompany the acute-phase response (APR) and the role of acute-phase reactant proteins as tumor markers in cancer. Serum amyloid A (SAA) was first found in serum because it cross-reacted immunologically with antiserum raised against amyloid A protein purified from amyloid ...

Lipoprotein(a) and acute-phase proteins in acute myocardial infarction

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1992
Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) and the acute-phase proteins, orosomucoid, haptoglobin and alpha 1-antitrypsin, were studied in 32 patients with acute myocardial infarction. Samples were taken at admission and, after fasting overnight, on the following 6 days. In a subgroup of 21 patients total serum cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and ...

International Standardization of Acute Phase Proteins

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2001
Abstract:Acute phase proteins (APPs) such as haptoglobin, serum amyloid A and pig major acute phase protein are plasma proteins that increase in concentration following infection, inflammation, or trauma. The circulating concentrations of these proteins in pigs and cattle can provide an objective measure of the health status of an animal and are ...

Acute Phase Proteins In Atherosclerosis (Acute Coronary Syndrome)

Cardiovascular & Hematological Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2008
Investigation of the mechanisms of atherosclerosis has determined that inflammation plays a central role in the development, progression, and outcome of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma levels increase in patients with ACS. CPR is an important prognostic marker in ACS, following angioplasty, and in the long-term management

Prognostic value of serum acute-phase proteins in dogs with parvoviral enteritis.

Journal of Small Animal Practice, 2010
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the acute-phase protein response in dogs with parvoviral enteritis as predictor of the clinical outcome. METHODS Canine parvovirus infection was diagnosed based on the compatible clinical findings and confirmed by the canine ...

Relationship between serum acute-phase proteins and high disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Advances in Medical Sciences, 2010
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum acute-phase proteins and high disease activity evaluated by activity score (DAS28) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. MATERIAL/METHODS Studies were carried out on 27 females
