From: Ultrafine carbon particle mediated cardiovascular impairment of aged spontaneously hypertensive rats
Expression of acute phase protein in serum and plasma of ultrafine carbon particle ( UfCP ) exposed spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) compared to control on 1strecovery day. a. C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration increased by 58% (~1.6 fold) in the serum of UfCP exposed SHRs compared to control. b. Haptoglobin concentration in the serum of UfCP exposed SHRs after increased by 16% compared to control. c. Fibrinogen concentration in plasma of UfCP exposed SHRs increased by 13.6%. Data are represented as mean ± SE. (n = 8/experimental group; *indicates p < 0.05; white bar: control; black bar: exposed).
