چکیده مقاله:

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 evaluate the relationship between serum levels of HDL and CRP in patients with atherosclerosis disease. Material and Methods: CRP and HDL in 45 patients as a case and 45 healthy individuals as a control group were measured in the central laboratory of Yazd city. The CRP was measured by turbidometric quantitative method and HDL by colorimetric method. Results: In case group, the CRP level was 7.62 ± 4.08 mg/l and the HDL level was 45.29 ± 9.41mg/dl, which are inversely correlated (P-value: 0.001, Pearson correlation: -0.700), while the correlation in control group was not significant (P-value: 0.88, Pearson correlation: 0.023). Conclusion: Based on the resuls, there is a significant inverse correlation between CRP and HDL in atherosclerotic patients. Keywords: Atherosclerosis Disease, CRP, HDL

Investigating relationship between C- reactive protein and obesity in adults

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 ti...

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...

High-density lipoprotein subfractions in normolipidemic patients with coronary atherosclerosis.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were studied in 10 male patients with severe coronary atherosclerosis and in 10 well-matched controls. All subjects were normolipidemic, and the presence of a disease or other factor influencing HDL levels were excluded. Very low density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein levels were similar in both groups, but HDL concentration was significantly lower...

Are oxidized low-density lipoprotein and C-reactive protein markers of atherosclerosis in nephrotic children?

BACKGROUND Lipid disorders are known to be linked to disturbance in oxidative reactions and play an important role in the progression and complications of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). AIMS The aim of this study was to assess oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) serum concentrations and other parameters of lipid metabolism in children wit...

C-reactive protein-mediated low density lipoprotein uptake by macrophages: implications for atherosclerosis.

BACKGROUND LDL and C-reactive protein (CRP) are important cardiovascular risk factors. Both LDL and CRP deposit in the arterial wall during atherogenesis. Stranded LDL is taken up by macrophages, causing foam cell formation. Because native LDL does not induce foam cell formation, we hypothesized that CRP may opsonize native LDL for macrophages. METHODS AND RESULTS Monocytes were isolated from...

Relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) and lymphopenia with disease severity in hospitalized patients with Covid-19 in Yasuj city in 2020

Introduction: Due to the high prevalence of Covid-19 disease and limited treatment capacity, rapid identification of factors indicating the severity of the disease can be very helpful. It is predicted that positive CRP along with lymphopenia is related to the severity of Covid-19 infection. Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between C-react...
