F for acute CRP attempts to avoid biasing our data with individuals who are actively experiencing immune responses. However, it is possible that we are including some girls who have slightly elevated CRP and low growth because they have recently been sick. More broadly, it is unclear whether these relatively slight differences in CRP would be measurable in populations with higher rates of inflamma
Urrent caloric excess, but still have very low absolute levels of adipose tissue. While organisms may use markers of energetic balance to judge whether to embark upon long term energetic projects, such as female reproduction [6], an acute immune response will demand a large amount of energy in a short period of time [3]. Given this, it may be more reliable for organisms to use signals of energetic
