Abstract:

Introduction: Association between plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations and cardiovascular disease has been Investigated. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant which is a marker of inflammation in the body. CRP is made by the liver in response to inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα). Adipose tissue is a major source of these inflammatory cytokines. The purpose of this study was, to examine differences in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and body fatness. Methods: A total of 260 adult healthy men and women were investigated in 2014. Body mass index (BMI) was measured for each participant. Blood samples were collected and CRP measurements were performed in the laboratory. Plasma CRP levels were measured by means of a colorimetric competitive ELISA. Data are expressed as mean±SD values. Relationship between obesity and CRP was analyzed by SPSS 20, and tested using χ2-test and logistic regression analysis. Results: Subjects with elevated CRP had higher BMI and WC. For elevated CRP, subjects in the highest BMI quartile with subjects in the lowest BMI quartile. The result shows a relationship between CRP with BMI throughout the BMI spectrum. CRP levels were strongly correlated with BMI (P=0.0002).Levels of CRP also increased steadily across WC quartiles (P=0.0001). Waist circumference quartiles were also strongly associated with odds of elevated CRP. Women in the highest WC (91cm) and men in the highest WC (89cm) had an odd of elevated CRP. Conclusion: Development and implementation of a global health strategy for prevention and control of non-communicable diseasesin recommended.

Relationship between High-Density Lipoprotein and C-reactive Protein in Patients with Atherosclerosis

Abstract Background and Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease mostly caused by oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDLs) while High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) oppose atherosclerosis by inhibiting the oxidation of LDLs. Serum concentration of C- reactive protein (CRP) also increases as an acute phase protein in inflammatory conditions like atherosclerosis. We aimed to evalu...

P99: The Role of C- Reactive Protein in Obesity and Neuropathic Diseases

Acute phase C-reactive protein (CRP), raised in obesity and inflammation, is a main binding protein for leptin. It is assumed that CRP contributes to leptin confrontation by preventing leptin from crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Here we defined how CRP cooperates with the BBB and whether it deters leptin from attainment CNS targets. CRP was constant in blood, but did not permeate the BB...

Relationship Between C-Reactive Protein and Subclinical Atherosclerosis

Background—Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with increased risk for incident cardiovascular events on the basis of observations from several prospective epidemiological studies. However, less is known regarding the relationship between CRP levels and atherosclerotic burden. Methods and Results—We measured CRP in 3373 subjects 30 to 65 years of age who were participatin...
