abstract：OBJECTIVES:Procalcitonin (PCT) has been described as an early, discriminating marker of bacteria-associated sepsis in patients. However, little is known of its source and actions, in part because no appropriate animal models have been available. We tested the hypothesis that plasma PCT increases during various pathophy...
