Acute phase response of rabbit to HgCl2 and CdCl2.
A variety of changes occur in the rabbit under metal stress which include the appearance of the acute phase protein, C-reactive protein in the serum and significant reduction in the serum titres of albumin and acetylcholinesterase. The phospholipid profile is positively correlated with the higher degree of tissue necrosis encountered in mercury treated rabbit. Cadmium and mercury treatments evoke a similar response pattern in rabbit differing only in the degree of change.
