Homocysteine (HCY), C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and triglycerides (TG) are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). While multivitamins (MVit) may reduce HCY and hsCRP, omega-3 fatty acids (N3) reduce TG; yet, they are seldom studied simultaneously. ...
Abstract. L-arginine is an important factor in several physiological and biochemical processes. Recently, scientists studied L-arginine effect on inflammatory mediators such as C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and ...
Abstract. Chronic, systemic inflammation, which is associated with obesity and numerous other diseases, impairs iron status by increasing hepcidin concentration. Inflammation also decreases the concentration of transferrin, the main iron transport ...
Abstract: Data about the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation on inflammatory markers are inconsistent. This systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was performed to summarize the effects of ALA ...
Abstract: New evidence suggests that soy products might reduce chronic systemic inflammation. Therefore, we aimed to summarize the effect of soy isoflavones on serum concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) among participants with chronic inflammatory ...
Background: The etiology of thrombangitis obliterans is still unclear. Although cellular infiltration of the vessel wall is known, no studies on peripheral blood mononuclear cells are reported. Therefore, we assessed leucocyte subpopulations and ...
Hintergrund: Diese Studie wurde durchgeführt, um zu überprüfen, ob das C-reaktive Protein (CRP) im Vergleich zu etablierten Risikofaktoren der Arteriosklerose (Geschlecht, Alter, Diabetes mellitus, Hochdruck, Rauchen) besser mit einem Rezidiv nach ...
Background: Neovascularization is one of the most important risk factors for unstable plaque. This study was designed to correlate plaque thickness, artery stenosis and levels of serum C-reactive protein with the degree of intraplaque enhancement ...
