| A number of acute-phase reactants protect against tissue injury in response to heat stress. |
|
| To further confuse the presentation, serum iron levels and the percentage of iron saturation are often low, apparently because of negative acute-phase reactions. |
|
| Severe clinical symptoms in patients with the M694V mutation may be attributed to increased levels of acute-phase reactant seven during the attack-free period. |
|
| Baseline radiographic damage, elevated acute-phase reactant levels, and cigarette smoking status predict spinal radiographic progression in early axial spondylarthritis. |
|
| Haptoglobin is a potent antioxidant and a positive acute-phase reaction protein whose main function is to scavenge free hemoglobin that is toxic to cells. |
|
| The pattern of neutralizing antibodies and IgM in acute-phase and convalescent-phase serum samples is evidence of recent exposure to a henipavirus. |
