Journal ArticleDOI
Study of the molecular mechanism of decreased liver synthesis of albumin in inflammation.
TL;DR: The measured albumin synthesis in four patients with inflammatory diseases using the [14C]carbonate technique suggests that monocytic products play an important role in reducedalbumin synthesis during inflammation.

Acute-Phase Reactants
TL;DR: The term acute phase reactants (AP-reactants) as discussed by the authors is used to refer to protein components of plasma whose concentration is significantly increased in the acute phase of inflammatory processes.

TL;DR: It is concluded that chronic metabolic acidosis causes negative nitrogen balance and decreases albumin synthesis in humans and may be mediated, at least in part, by a suppression of insulin-like growth factor-I, free thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine.

Regulation of albumin synthesis and catabolism by alteration of dietary protein.
TL;DR: There is good evidence that catabolism of albumin is slowed in conditions of low-protein feeding and in clinical states of protein deficiency, for example, kwashiorkor1–3.
