Even Fjære Effects of macronutrient composition and cyclooxygenase-inhibition on diet-induced obesity, low grade inflammation and glucose homeostasis

Background: Polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are reported to protect against high fat diet-induced obesity and inflammation in adipose tissue. Here we aimed to investigate if the amount of sucrose in the background diet influences the ability of n-3 PUFAs to protect against diet-induced obesity, adipose tissue inflammation and glucose intolerance. Methodology/Principal Findings: We f...

Low-grade systemic inflammation in overweight children.

OBJECTIVE Human adipose tissue expresses and releases the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6, potentially inducing low-grade systemic inflammation in persons with excess body fat. To limit potential confounding by inflammation-related diseases and subclinical cardiovascular disease, we tested the hypothesis that overweight is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation in children. DE...

Low-grade inflammation and microalbuminuria in hypertension.

UNLABELLED Background- Albuminuria and C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic low-grade inflammation, are frequently elevated in essential hypertension and predict cardiovascular prognosis independent of conventional risk factors. However, in spite of their potentially important links, the interrelationships between the 2 parameters have not been explored in depth in hypertensive patien...
