C-reactive Protein Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis Patients
… for atherosclerosis, particularly heightened C-reactive protein levels. Methods: A total of 184 subjects, comprising of two periodontal subgroups, non-periodontal (NP = 91) and generalized aggressive periodontitis (SP = 93), had serum evaluated for C-reactive protein (CRP) levels using a high …

A comparison of standard C-reactive protein laboratory measurement to point of care C-reactive protein test in a neonatal intensive care unit setting
… provide results 6 to 48 hours later. A bedside C-reactive protein (CRP) test may be able to exclude or diagnose sepsis within minutes. Objectives: The objectives were to validate the Alere AfinionTM point of care test (POCT) CRP in a tertiary neonatal unit against the gold standard CRP assay in …

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 …

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. …

Gene By Bmi Interactions Influencing C-Reactive Protein Levels In European-Americans
<p>C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a biomarker indicating tissue damage, inflammation, and infection. High-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) is an emerging biomarker often used to estimate an individual’s risk for future coronary heart disease (CHD). hsCRP levels falling below 1.00 mg/l indicate a low risk for …

Effect of dietary fibre on selected haemostatic variables and C-reactive protein
… VII (FVII) and fibrinogen and more recently, C-reactive protein (CRP), a sensitive marker of inflammation. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an inverse association between dietary fibre (DF) consumption and risk factors for CVD and CVD prevalence. Some research indicates that this …

The Relationship Between High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, Metabolic Syndrome and Exercise
… 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 characteristics: low …

Dietary Magnesium, C-Reactive Protein and Interleukin-6: The Strong Heart Family Study
… transport, on markers of inflammation (i.e., C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin 6 (IL-6)) among American Indians (AIs). Methods: This cross-sectional study included AI participants (n=1,924) from the Strong Heart Family Study. Intake of Mg from foods and dietary supplements was ascertained …

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 …

Alcohol Consumption, Frailty, and the Mediating Role of C-Reactive Protein in Older Adults
Frailty is a well-established indicator of late-life decline and is accompanied by higher rates of comorbidity and disability. Meanwhile, an estimated 41% of adults over the age of 65 report consuming alcohol – an identified health risk and protective factor depending on dosage. Given that the …

Psychological Stress and High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Levels in Overweight and Obese Men
… 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 al (2003) …

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 …

Investigation of C-Reactive Protein and Leptin as Biomarkers of Obesity with Potential Clinical Utility
<p>Obesity and its subsequent disease states are major health problems in the United States. In many ways, obesity can be considered a “disease state” itself due to the changes it causes on the body. High-intensity exercise also places acute stress the body, putting humans in recovery from exercise …

The Association Between Sex Hormone Binding Globulin And C-Reactive Protein Levels in Premenopausal Women
… and associated 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 …

Relationship of Anger Trait and Anger Expression to C-Reactive Protein in Post-Menopausal Women
… serum levels of the proinflammatory biomarker, C-reactive protein, in post-menopausal women who scored high on anger characteristics compared to those with low anger characteristics. Mean levels of C-reactive protein were not found to be different in a sample of 42 women with high trait anger or …

Effect of California mission fig consumption on levels of c-reactive protein and antioxidant levels
… 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 data from September …

Determining the relationship between C-reactive protein, visceral fat, and the metabolic syndrome risk factors
… tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute phase inflammatory marker, has been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease and has been shown to have a relationship with VF levels. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship …

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 …
