• Adipokines: inflammation and the pleiotropic role of white adipose tissue (2004, background): “2003), and elevated levels of this inflammatory marker have been associated with both obesity and diabetes, falling with weight loss (Tchernof et al. 2002).”
• Maternal obesity is associated with dysregulation of metabolic, vascular, and inflammatory pathways. (2002, background): “Given the recent evidence for the association of CRP with obesity and its independent prediction of diabetes in the nonpregnant individual (13, 14), we were interested in the correlates of CRP and insulin in pregnancy.”
• The role of vascular biomarkers for primary and secondary prevention. A position paper from the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on peripheral circulation: Endorsed by the Association for Research into Arterial Structure and Physiology (ARTERY) Society. (2015, background): “Regarding dyslipidaemias, the European Society of Cardiology/ European Atherosclerosis Society (ESC/EAS) guidelines do not recommend measuring hsCRP as a secondary target of therapy for everybody; however, it may be useful in people close to the highrisk category to better stratify their total risk ”
• American College of Sports Medicine Position Stand. Appropriate physical activity intervention strategies for weight loss and prevention of weight regain for adults. (2009, background): “Weight loss has also been associated with a decrease in inflammatory markers, such as Creactive protein (60,81,139), which have also been associated with the development of CVD (118,119).”
• The emergence of the metabolic syndrome with menopause. (2003, background): “Like PAI-1, CRP is positively associated with total body fat mass and abdominal fat, and weight loss in postmenopausal women has been shown to reduce CRP levels by 32% (75).”
