Adipokines: the missing link between insulin resistance and obesity. (2008, background): “There is a positive relationship beteen IL-6 levels in adipose tissue and circulating CRP levels 29], which is an important cardiovascular risk factor [30].”
Biological markers of oxidative stress: Applications to cardiovascular research and practice (2013, background): “Examples of circulating biomarkers that have been incorporated into clinical practice, and shown to have value in addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factor analysis, include N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for heart failure [2], glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) for glycaem”
Effects of exercise and diet on chronic disease. (2005, background): “When considered in conjunction with plasma Total-C, CRP serves as a better predictor of CAD risk than Total-C alone (328), may be a stronger predictor of cardiovascular events than LDL-C, and adds prognostic information at all levels of the metabolic syndrome (326).”
Role of C-Reactive Protein at Sites of Inflammation and Infection (2018, background): “However, when the stimuli ends, CRP values decrease exponentially over 18–20 h, close to the half-life of CRP (9).”
Prevalence of low-grade inflammation in depression: a systematic review and meta-analysis of CRP levels (2019, background): “Depression is co-morbid with CVD (Hare et al., 2013).”
Serum procalcitonin and C-reactive protein levels as markers of bacterial infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2004, background): “CRP is synthesized by the liver, mainly in response to IL-6, which is produced not only during infection but also in many types of inflammation [9].”
Psychological Stress in Childhood and Susceptibility to the Chronic Diseases of Aging: Moving Towards a Model of Behavioral and Biological Mechanisms (2011, background): “…in healthy persons, elevated rates of mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes, and greater risk for all-cause mortality (Blake & Ridker, 2003; Cesari et al., 2003; Hashimoto et al., 2001; Kuo et al., 2005; Lindmark, Diderholm, Wallentin, & Siegbahn, 2001; Pradhan et al., 2002;…”
