Usefulness of Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) Level for Predicting Flap Complication after Performing Free Microvascular Head and Neck Reconstruction
… of its narrow and inaccessible anatomy. Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level is commonly used as a marker of acute inflammatory response and quantitative test that shows predictable kinetics. Therefore, awareness of natural CRP trend of free microvascular head and neck reconstruction may help in …

Physical Activity and C-reactive Protein Levels: The Confounding Role of Body Fat Percentage
… relationship between physical activity and C-reactive protein (CRP) in 211 middle-aged women (43.1 + 3.0 years). A secondary objective was to determine the extent to which body fat percentage operated as a confounder in the association between physical activity and CRP. Physical activity was …

C-Reactive Protein, Homocysteine, And Cognitive Performance In Healthy Adults
<p>Elevated blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) have received a great deal of attention as biomarkers for the development of cardiovascular disease. Their utility in predicting cognitive function has also been assessed, though the findings are equivocal. The current …

Diet, Adiposity, and Advanced Glycation Endproducts
… adiponectin, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, and triacylglycerol were determined. sRAGE was inversely correlated with weight (-0.364; p=0.002), waist circumference (-0.334; p=0.004), and BMI (-0.364; p= 0.002). High molecular adiponectin was positively correlated to sRAGE (0.416; …

ACUTE EFFECTS OF LONG DISTANCE RUNNING ON C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND ARTERIAL STIFFNESS
… determine the effects of ULT and MAR on C-reactive protein (CRP), aortic blood pressure (BP), aortic augmentation index (AIx), PWV, and LF:HF ratio. We hypothesized that CRP, AIx, PWV and LF:HF ratio would be elevated 24 hours post-race. Our secondary hypothesis was that changes in PWV …
