The Relationship Between High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, Metabolic Syndrome and Exercise
… between inflammatory markers, such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and physical activity. Elevated hs-CRP appears to be an independent predictor of both CVD and diabetes. Recent evidence also suggests that hs-CRP is positively associated with all metabolic syndrome …

Psychological Stress and High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Levels in Overweight and Obese Men
<p><strong>Background and Purpose</strong>. 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 …

HIGH SENSITIVITY C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND RISK OF STROKE IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: THE REASONS FOR GEOGRAPHIC AND RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN STROKE (REGARDS) STUDY
Background and Purpose- High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation, is a predictor of cardiovascular events in the general population. We compared the association between hs-CRP level and subsequent stroke events in in individuals with and without atrial …

Associations between Selected Dietary Factors, Selected Obesity-Related Metabolic Markers (Leptin, C-peptide, and High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein), and Lung Cancer: A Matched Case-Control Study Nested in the Prospective PLCO Trial
… beta-carotene intake, C-peptide (CP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and leptin concentrations. Data from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial were analyzed. Linear regression models were used to describe the associations between …

Relation between carotid artery FDG uptake and cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic adults
… syndrome were independent determinants of high TBRglu. Of subjects with metabolic syndrome, those exhibiting high carotid artery FDG uptake had significantly higher levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). In subjects who did not have metabolic syndrome, FRS were significantly …

Avaliação dos níveis de proteína C-reativa ultra-sensível em pacientes com periodontite crônica severa generalizada e sem periodontite
INTRODUCTION: The high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) constitutes an inflammatory mediator used as predictor of cardiovascular risk that comes being researched as indicative relation factor between cardiovascular and periodontal diseases. PROPOSITION: To compare serumals levels of …

Associations of Persistent Organic Pollutants Exposure with Coronary Heart Disease and Hearing Loss
… relationship with hearing loss. Additionally, higher levels of the inflammatory markers high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) were associated with greater odds of hearing loss and increased hearing thresholds. These findings add to the growing evidence …

Effect of California mission fig consumption on levels of c-reactive protein and antioxidant levels
… effect of consumption of polyphenol-rich figs on high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) and antioxidant levels in hyperlipidemic subjects. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of fig consumption on C-reactive protein and antioxidant levels. Analyses were carried out on collected …

Analysis of Dietary Intake, Body Composition and Biomarkers in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Prediabetes and Without Diabetes
… body composition, and inflammatory markers (high sensitivity-C-reactive protein (HS-CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)) between adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prediabetes (PDM) to adults without diabetes. A total of 22 participants (PDM/T2DM …

Effects of Exposure to Environmental Pollutants on Markers of Adiposity and Inflammation
… both former workers and nearby residents with high occupational and environmental exposure. In HCHS/SOL, we observed sex-specific associations between POPs and adiposity. In women, PCBs were positively associated with change in waist circumference (WC), while in men, organochlorine pesticides …

MAJOR DEPRESSION AND INSULIN RESISTANCE AMONG NONDIABETIC U.S. ADULTS AGED 20-39 YEARS: THE ROLES OF GENDER AND RACE/ETHNICITY
… systolic blood pressure, triglyceride level, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, obesity, leisure time physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. In contrast, no significant association between major depression and insulin resistance among women was found. There was no significant …

Effect of Depression Treatment on Somatic Depressive Symptoms and Cardiometabolic Biomarkers among People without Diabetes
… height and weight, and plasma concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), leptin, and ghrelin using ELISA kits. Parallel mediation analyses revealed that 12 months of modernized collaborative care for depression improved both directions of sleep symptoms but did not improve …

Dapagliflozin Regresses Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in People with Type 2 Diabetes
… (CI): -5.13 to -0.51, p= 0.018). Additional sensitivity analysis adjusting for baseline LVM, blood pressure, weight and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) prescription showed the LVM change to remain statistically significant (mean change …

Examining the Effects of a High Fat, High Sugar Diet in Adolescence on Memory and Executive Functioning in Young Adulthood
… evidence from animal studies suggests that diets high in fats and sugar lead to poorer cognitive functioning. Importantly, animals exposed to a high fat, high sugar (HFHS) diet during adolescence show more pronounced deficits in cognitive performance than animals given this diet during adulthood, …

Adults with Preexisting Diagnosis of Heart Failure in the Environment of Coronavirus Disease 2019
… 55 years and older. HF is also associated with a high rate of mortality, estimated to increase, with a risk rate of 13%, 32%, and 64% among hospitalized adults at 30-day, 1-year, and 5-year respectively. To date, treatment of HF is disease management including medication management, patient …

Comparison on metabolic markers and hormone level according to serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level
… glucose, uric acid, albumin, lipid profile, high sensitive C-reactive protein, homocysteine and white blood cell counts were measured. Insulin like growth factor-I, insulin like growth factor binding protein 3, and sex hormone binding globulin level were measured. We divide the subjects into …

The Effect of Allopurinol on Left Ventricular Mass in Patients with Treated Essential Hypertension
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) confers a high cardiovascular risk independent of blood pressure. It is prevalent in hypertensive patients even when the blood pressure is controlled, and LVH regression has prognostic benefit. Residual risk remains in well controlled hypertension and therefore …

Stretch intensity and the inflammatory response
… of the intensity of stretch (low, medium, or high) may be used to optimize recovery from muscle damage via ameliorating inflammation; this is however, a plausible hypothesis that needs to be appropriately investigated. Aims: The present project aimed to investigate: 1) whether intense …

Neurohormonal and inflammatory markers in valvular heart disease
… or left ventricular dysfunction, mortality is high without surgical intervention. Currently there is no known medical therapy that influences disease progression or clinical outcome. While the development of symptoms or left ventricular dysfunction are the cardinal indications for valve surgery, …
