In this regard, recent studies in humans have revealed that the prohormone of calcitonin (CT), procalcitonin (ProCT), as well as its component peptides offer promise of being early and useful predictive markers of systemic inflammation [ 11, 12, 13].
Subsequent studies were performed with a new antibody, R1B4, which has ten times the crossreactivity of Ab-4 with the prohormone.
LIF and LIFR are functionally expressed in rodent tissues that are central to GC production: the hypothalamus [ 8 ] and pituitary [ 9 10 11 12 ] . LIF works in synergy with corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in the hypothalamus to increase pituitary pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and, ultimately, pituitary adrenocorticotrophin hormone (ACTH) [ 9 11 13 14 15 16 ] . LIF also stimulates POMC gene expression directly in the pituitary [ 9 11 15 17 ] . LIF up-regulates pituitary prohormone convertase (PC1).
In this respect, a shift to constitutive secretion has been reported to occur by the experimental induction of dysfunctional prohormone convertase enzymes or by injury to the plasma membrane [ 29].
One might postulate that severe inflammation causes such a profound hypersynthesis of the prohormone that the NE endoproteolytic machinery is overwhelmed.
