Circadian pattern of acute phase proteins in the saliva of growing pigs

The circadian rhythm of the acute phase proteins (APPs) haptoglobin (Hp) and C-reactive protein (CRP) was assessed in saliva samples from 18- and 21-week old pigs. Saliva was collected at 07.00, 11.00, 15.00 and 19.00h on two consecutive days and the Hp and CRP concentrations were quantified using t...

Zusammenfassung:The circadian rhythm of the acute phase proteins (APPs) haptoglobin (Hp) and C-reactive protein (CRP) was assessed in saliva samples from 18- and 21-week old pigs. Saliva was collected at 07.00, 11.00, 15.00 and 19.00h on two consecutive days and the Hp and CRP concentrations were quantified using two species-specific, time-resolved immunofluorometric assays. Salivary Hp levels were significantly higher (P
