Serum Sialic Acid as a Biomarker of Inflammation and Infection: Insights From Veterinary Medicine. [PDF]
Vet Med IntSerum sialic acid (SSA) levels, including total sialic acid (TSA), lipid‐bound sialic acid (LBSA), and protein‐bound sialic acid (PBSA), have been extensively studied as biomarkers of inflammation and infection across various species and diseases. In parasitemic sheep, elevated SSA levels likely reflect host–pathogen interactions and immune activation.
