Final answer:
The correct answer is C. Decrease in Fibrinogen. This is not an acute phase response during inflammation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is C. Decrease in Fibrinogen.
The acute phase response is the immediate systemic response to infection, injury, or inflammation. It involves various physiological changes in the body.
A. Fever is an acute phase response that helps enhance immune function by increasing the activity of immune cells and inhibiting the growth of some pathogens.
B. Leukocytosis is another acute phase response characterized by an increase in the number of white blood cells. This helps the body fight against infection and inflammation.
C. Decrease in Fibrinogen is NOT an acute phase response.
Fibrinogen is a protein involved in blood clotting, and its levels actually increase during the acute phase response to promote clot formation.
D. Elevation of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is also an acute phase response. CRP levels increase in response to inflammation and help activate the complement system, enhance immune responses, and promote tissue repair.
