abstract：:Haptoglobin (Hp), an acute-phase response protein, is typically increased in the serum of adults after acute tissue injury. It is an antioxidant and may function as an injury-induced neuroprotective protein. However, the source of increased Hp is not clear. To investigate its source, we compared its time course expres...
