... significantly higher in female patients than female controls. In female patients, leptin was positively associated with C-reactive protein (CRP; r = 0.28, p = 0.016), WBCC ( r = 0.261, p = 0.02), neutrophil, r = 0.268, p = 0.018, and monocyte, r = 0.228, p = 0.044. Multivariable regression analysis revealed...

... status and inflammatory biomarkers could give new insights into cardiovascular disease prevention. We investigated long-term associations between the antioxidant nutrient (vitamin C, α-tocopherol, β-carotene) status and C-reactive protein (CRP) in a population-based cohort. Methods: Subjects included...

... in a randomized double-blind controlled trial. Anthropometric measurements, dietary intakes, hemoglobin (Hb)A 1 c, antioxidant status, C-reactive protein and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were assessed at baseline and 6 weeks post-intervention. Results: FDS supplementation significantly decreased C-reactive...

... switched to the alternate diet for an additional 6 weeks. In a fasted state, markers of inflammation [high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), high-sensitivity interleukin-6 (hs-IL-6), high-sensitivity tumor necrosis factor-α (hs-TNF-α), and serum amyloid A (SAA)], endothelial function [E-selectin...

.... Venous blood samples were taken 1 week before Ramadan, during the last week of Ramadan and 3 weeks after Ramadan. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), homocysteine, vitamin B 12 , folate, total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein...

...Shany Blum; Michael Aviram; Ami Ben-Amotz; Yishai Levy Background and Aim: Atherosclerosis involves oxidative and inflammatory mediators regulated by fat and antioxidants. Therefore, we studied the postprandial evolution of plasma lipids, carotenoids, C-reactive protein (CRP), and human serum...
