Abstract

Aims: Fetuin A is a serum protein, essential for mineral homeostasis, showing immunomodulatory functions mediated by spermine-like polycations as well as TGF beta. It was neuroprotective in a rat model of acute stroke and reduces lethality after systemic LPS challenge. Serum fetuin A concentrations are highest during early intrauterine life and are depressed during acute phase (negative acute phase protein). Expression of fetuin A in the preterm brain has already been shown. This study aimed at specifying the cerebral expression pattern of fetuin A.
