C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Health Resort Reaction

C-reactive protein: CRP IL-6 homocysteine.

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Autoimmune Disease: Facts and Conjectures

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a blood component comprised of five identical subunits with a combined molecular mass of 110 kDa; in the presence of Ca++ it binds phosphocholine (PC) with high affinity. Ligand-bound CRP activates complement and the protein reportedly binds various Fc receptors. Coincident with a now decade-long resurgence in clinical interest in associations of CRP with disease, ou...

C-reactive Protein (crp) and Its Predictive Role

The antimicrobial properties of C-reactive protein (CRP).

C-reactive protein, CRP, is a predominant pattern-recognition receptor (PRR) in the plasma of the horseshoe crab, which recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Native CRP2 has previously been shown to exhibit agglutination activity against the polysialic capsule of Escherichia coli K1 but its role in bacterial clearance is not well characterized. In this work, the antimicrobial activity of a recom...

Role of C Reactive Protein (CRP) in Leptin Resistance

Increased plasma levels of both leptin and C reactive protein (CRP) have been reported in a number of conditions, including obesity, and have been linked to cardiovascular pathophysiological processes and increased cardiovascular risk; interestingly these two biomarkers appear to be able to reciprocally regulate their bioavailability, through complex mechanisms that have not been completely cla...
