Serum Proteins
beta-1
Transferrin and beta-lipoprotein (LDL) comprises the beta-1. Increased beta-1 protein due to the increased level of free transferrin is typical of iron deficiency anemia, pregnancy, and oestrogen therapy. Increased beta-1 protein due to LDL elevation occurs in hypercholesterolemia. Decreased beta-1 protein occurs in acute or chronic inflammation.
Il Fibrinogeno e la coagulazione
Il fibrinogeno serve a occludere i vasi per impedire la diffusione dei patogeni nel corpo e per fare coaguli su cui crescono i linfociti che devono produrre gli anticorpi.
