Recent evidence supports involvement of the acute phase protein haptoglobin in numerous
events of mammalian reproduction. The objective of this study was to determine whether …

BACKGROUND: Evidence is emerging that haptoglobin, an acute phase protein with
immunomodulatory properties, is expressed by the endometrium of various species. The …

The study was conducted to determine the baseline concentration of serum haptoglobin
(Hp) in jennies during the breeding and nonbreeding season and to evaluate the effects of …

Haptoglobin (Hp), one of the major positive acute phase proteins in cattle, is released in
response to proinflammatory cytokines. Colostrum intake might influence the response of the …

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological pathology in which immune system deregulation
may play a role in its initiation and progression. In endometriotic lesions, intercellular …

The acute phase protein haptoglobin (Hp) exerts immune modulating functions in the innate
and adaptive immune system. In pigs, serum Hp concentrations are linked to impaired …

A polypeptide of 42 kDa was previously identified in rabbit uterine epithelium during the peri-
implantation period as a progesterone-dependent, stage-specific protein. Binding of the …

Haptoglobin (Hp) protein has high affinity for hemoglobin (Hb) binding during intravascular
hemolysis and scavenges the hemoglobin induced free radicals. Earlier reports indicate …

Expression of haptoglobin (Hp) mRNA, one of the major acute phase proteins in cattle, was
demonstrated in homogenates of the bovine mammary gland. The aim of this study was to …
