Stress-tolerance tests and postprandial low-grade inflammation response

Chronic Low-grade Inflammation after Exercise: Controversies

ApoCIII gene variants modulate postprandial response to both glucose and fat tolerance tests.

BACKGROUND We investigated the relationship between variation in the apolipoprotein (apo) AI-CIII-AIV gene cluster and response to an oral glucose test (OGTT) and oral fat load test (OFTT) in the EARSII group of young, healthy male offspring whose fathers had had a myocardial infarction before the age of 55 years (cases, n=407) compared with age-matched controls (n=415). The apoCIII variations ...

Postprandial low-grade inflammation does not specifically require TLR4 activation in the rat

BACKGROUND Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), an innate immune receptor, is suspected to play a key role in the postprandial inflammation that is induced by a high-fat meal rich in saturated fatty acids (SFA). Our objective was to test this hypothesis by using a specific competitive inhibitor of TLR4 (INH) vs vehicle (VEH) administered immediately before a high-SFA meal in rats. METHODS First, in a...

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...
