What Does APRF Stand For?
APRF stands for Acute Phase Response Factor
The Acute Phase Response Factor (APRF) refers to a set of physiological changes that occur in response to injury, infection, or inflammation. This factor plays a critical role in the immune system's immediate response to stressors, facilitating the release of various acute phase proteins and mediators that help regulate inflammation, promote healing, and restore homeostasis. The APRF is essential for understanding the body's adaptive mechanisms and can provide insights into disease progression and treatment strategies.
