Simulating the Soil Erosion from Land Removed from CRP
… of South Dakota Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contract holders, conducted in 2007, indicated that large areas of land in the CRP could be returned to grain production in the next four years. Conversion of these acres from CRP back to row crop production without regard to environmental …

Serum Complement Reactive Protein (CRP) Trends Following Free Flap in Lower Extremity Reconstruction
… flap failure. Serum complement reactive protein (CRP) level is a customary measure for early recognition of infections. The aim of this study was to describe the time course of CRP in patients with free flap for trauma and chronic wound problems of the lower extremity. We further evaluated the …

hs-CRP level represents the disease burden and the age but not vulnerability of coronary atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND: hs-CRP (high sensitive C-reactive protein) has been known as a systemic inflammatory marker of atherosclerosis and considered as one of the predictors of future cardiac events. Some reports presented hs-CRP level was associated with plaque vulnerability but most studies were performed …

Effects of Two Haying Provisions on Duck Nesting in Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Fields in South Dakota
Duck nesting in Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) fields was evaluated in 1989 and 1990 to determine the post year effects of emergency haying. Due to severe drought some CRP fields were released in 1988 for emergency haying with the provision that 10% be left in idled strips and some fields were …

Usefulness of Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) Level for Predicting Flap Complication after Performing Free Microvascular Head and Neck Reconstruction
… 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 the early …

Interação in vivo entre a proteína rica em cisteína (CRP) do Cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV) e a região promotora do gene SNC1 de soja
… que a proteína viral rica em cisteína (CRP) é capaz de atuar como fator de transcrição, modulando a expressão gênica do hospedeiro. Uma vez que a CRP do CPMMV se assemelha à do CVB, é possível que ela também possa atuar como fator de transcrição. Neste trabalho, primeiramente foi …

Mechanism of Transcriptional Regulation of C-Reactive Protein Gene Expression.
<p>C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase protein produced by hepatocytes whose serum concentration increases in inflammatory conditions including cardiovascular complications. Statins that are used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases to reduce cholesterol also lower serum CRP levels. …

C - Reactive Protein, Coronary Heart Disease and Ischemic Stroke in the Elderly: The Cardiovascular Health Study
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) has been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, but much of the research had focused on middle-aged populations with, limited prospective, population-based, longitudinal data. In this study, we examined data from an elderly …

C-reactive Protein Levels According to Physical Activity and Body Weight for Participants in the Coronary Health Improvement Project
… Evaluate C-reactive protein (CRP) levels according to weight and physical activity. The study explored how changes in CRP were associated with baseline CRP, weight, and physical activity and changes in these variables.</p> <p><em>Methods.</em> A randomized controlled study …

Mediators of monocyte activity in inflammation
C-reactive protein (CRP) is the prototypic acute phase serum protein in humans. CRP is currently one of the best markers of inflammatory disease and disease activity. One of the keys cells involved in inflammation within chronic inflammatory diseases is the monocyte. Monocytes are able to modulate …

Psychological Stress and High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Levels in Overweight and Obese Men
… High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a measure of inflammatory response, is now considered an independent marker for coronary heart disease. Psychological stress also affects the immune system and influences the inflammatory response. Ladwig, et al (2003) found a significant …

Seasonal Use of Conservation Reserve Program Fields By White-Tailed Deer in Eastern South Dakota
Seasonal use of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) fields by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was investigated in eastern South Dakota by systematically relocating radio-marked deer from 15 September 1989 to 31 December 1990. Seasonal core areas and low use areas were determined from 40 …

Zellulärer und gewebsspezifischer Nachweis von C-reaktivem Protein
Der Serum-CRP-Wert ist bei verschiedenen atherosklerotisch bedingten Erkrankungen und bei Nierenerkrankungen erhöht. Ob das CRP dabei eine pathophysiologische Rolle spielt oder eher nur als Marker fungiert, ist bisher nicht bekannt. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die Bildung von CRP auf zellulärer …

An Ecotoxicological Recovery Assessment of the Clinch River Following Coal Industry-related Disturbances in Carbo, Virginia (USA): 1967-2002
… mussels (Unionoidea), from sites influenced by CRP effluent. Modifications in CRP effluent during 1987 and 1993 drastically reduced Cu levels and warranted the present study, which assessed long-term biological recovery in Clinch River biota near the CRP. In 2000-2001, surveys of benthic …

Physical Activity and C-reactive Protein Levels: The Confounding Role of Body Fat Percentage
… 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 objectively …

The Association Between Sex Hormone Binding Globulin And C-Reactive Protein Levels in Premenopausal Women
… inflammatory markers such as C-Reactive Protein (CRP). There are few studies on the association between SHBG and CRP levels in premenopausal women. If this association is proven to be true, it could explain the mechanism by which some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases flare up or remit in women …
