Any type of extreme stress can cause an increase in leukocyte count, leading in leukocytosis. A burn is more likely to stimulate leukocyte proliferation in order to fight infection, which is a concern when the skin's barrier function is compromised.

<h3>Wha is leukocytosis?</h3>

Leukocytosis means you have a high white blood cell count. This means you have more white blood cells than usual. Leukocytosis is a normal immune response and not always a cause for concern. Most of the time, this means  your body is fighting an infection or inflammation.

Causes of leukocytosis -

neutrophils: inflammation and infection.

lymphocytosis: leukemia and viral infections.

monocytosis: cancer and other  infections.

eosinophils: parasites and allergies.

ch4aika [34]

Jeremy is going with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance which commonly thought to be the cause of muscle cramps. This is most evident factor when training in hot and humid conditions due to an increased loss of electrolytes through sweat.

Exercise associated muscle cramps are mainly treated with hydration and electrolyte supplementation but this could be neglecting the underlying cause of cramps during or after exercise. The most effective way of treating cramps before they affect body athletic performance is neuromuscular re-education.

High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) transport cholesterol from cells to the liver, where it becomes part of bile. HDLs are ________
Rudik [331]

Answer: HDLs are antiatherogenic lipoproteins....

Explanation:

The anti-atherogenic effect of HDL occurs, above all, because of its properties to carry lipids, mainly cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues to the liver, which is known as reverse cholesterol transport(RCT). However, other protective actions of HDL, in addition to RCT, have been described in several experimental models and epidemiological studies. These actions include antioxidant protection, mediation of cholesterol efflux, inhibition of the expression of cell adhesion, leukocyte activation, regulation of blood coagulation and platelet activity.
