Examples

  • Three major pathways of long-term impacts emerge: (1) chronic persistence of oil, biological exposures, and population impacts to species closely associated with shallow sediments; (2) delayed population impacts of sublethal doses compromising health, growth, and reproduction; and (3) indirect effects of trophic and interaction cascades, all of which transmit impacts well beyond the acute-phase mortality.

  • Problem is that the innate immune system can be chronically active, and when it is, you have a set up for heart disease: increased blood clotting, inflammatory cells and their products attacking blood vessel walls, the liver drifting into and out of the acute-phase response, etc.

  • The liver springs into action by what is called the acute-phase response, which is the production and release of even more substances to help deal with the threat.

  • Furthermore, the persistence of this anti-inflammatory profile at 3 months after stroke was in stronger support of a genetic trait rather than an acute-phase reaction.

  • Accordingly, we have found a number of acute-phase proteins (α2-macroglobulin, C-reactive protein and β2-microglobulin) that contributed to the separation between cases and controls.

  • This lower AGT expression in VAT suggests that the proximity and linkage of − 175A and − 163A variants might destabilize the binding of specific transcription factors to an acute-phase responsive element 3.
