Hcpatocytcs play a major role in acute phase response. The effect of the heatstroke on hepatocytes and thus on [he synthesis and release of eRP and cytokincs was assessed by measuring circulating alanine aminotransferase (AiD levels. Furthermore, the effect of possible renal dysfunction in heatstroke- on the circulat¬ing levels of these cytokines W-.J.S assessed by correlating with serum creatinine levels.
The circulating levels and role of these protein mediators in hyperthermia and in (he pathogenesis and cutocmc of heatstroke is unknown. In this study, we measured serum concentrations of stimulators/mediators of the acute phase response (lL-G and CRP) and inhibitors/neutralizers of cytokinc activities |
