... Increased level of C-reactive protein (CRP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and hypertension. Here, we analyzed the effects of CRP overexpression on cardiac susceptibility to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in adult spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR...

..., they underwent muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) analysis (microneurography), as well as ultrasensitive C-reactive protein (usCRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2 ) activity measurements. These evaluations were repeated at 1, 3, and 6 months after...

...Etsuko KIBAYASHI; Masaharu URAKAZE; Chikaaki KOBASHI; Mika KISHIDA; Michiyo TAKATA; Akira SATO; Katsuya YAMAZAKI; Masashi KOBAYASHI Recent data have indicated that CRP (C-reactive protein) plays a role in atherosclerosis, in addition to being a marker for inflammatory diseases. IL-8 (interleukin-8...

... between C3 and some cardiovascular risk factors when jointly analysed with CRP (C-reactive protein) and fibrinogen. In a cohort of 756 unselected adults, 39% of whom had the metabolic syndrome, C3 and other risk variables were evaluated in a cross-sectional manner. In a logistic regression model...

Supplementation for 14 days...

... (IL-1) locus influences the clinical patterns of inflammatory disease. We therefore examined the association between IL-1 gene polymorphisms and levels of systemic inflammatory activation markers [C-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra)] and of soluble endothelial activation...

...Johannes HULTHE; John WIKSTRAND; Björn FAGERBERG Results from several recent reports have linked high serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels to atherosclerotic disease and its complications. The aims of the present study were to investigate the relationship between CRP levels and subclinical...

...Stephen J. CLELAND; Naveed SATTAR; John R. PETRIE; Nita G. FOROUHI; Henry L. ELLIOTT; John M. C. CONNELL Low-grade chronic inflammation, characterized by elevated plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease...

...), soluble E-selectin and C-reactive protein, and neutrophil and monocyte CD11b expression] and routine blood cell counts in 20 patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome and positive blood culture. Eight patients with shock due to community-acquired infection developed OF, whereas 11 normotensive...

... that would distinguish SIRS patients with systemic inflammation from patients without inflammation. The study included 100 acutely ill patients with SIRS. Peripheral blood neutrophil and monocyte CD11b expression, serum interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, tumour necrosis factor-α and C-reactive protein were...

...J. F. Doherty; M. H. N. Golden; J. G. Raynes; G. E. Griffin; K. P. W. J. McAdam 1. The responses of plasma levels of C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A were assessed in two groups of malnourished children. 2. Sixty-six severely malnourished children were studied at admission. Fifty of these had...

... to surgery, the type of surgical procedure performed and the response of serum C-reactive protein. 2. Timed venous blood samples were taken from 26 patients in five broad surgical categories (minor surgery, cholecystectomy, hip replacement, colorectal surgery and major vascular surgery). C-reactive protein...

...C. P. J. Maury 1. On the basis of results from 3000 parallel measurements of serum amyloid A protein (SAA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in various clinical and experimental conditions, the relationship between these proteins was examined and the question of whether measurements of SAA can provide...
