• EULAR recommendations for cardiovascular disease risk management in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of inflammatory joint disorders: 2015/2016 update (2016, background): “The second principle indicates the responsibility of the rheumatologist for coordinating CVD risk management in patients with IJD, whereas the last principle aims to put this recommendation update more in line with other (EULAR) recommendations.”
• Epidemiology of Alzheimer Disease (2012, positive): “…et al. 2001), increase levels of brainderived neurotrophic factor, mobilize gene expression profiles that would be predicted to benefit brain plasticity (Cotman and Berchtold 2002), and reduce levels of C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, two inflammatory markers (Ford 2002; Reuben et al. 2003).”
• Effects of exercise and diet on chronic disease. (2005, background): “The mechanisms for the benefits of physical activity in reducing CAD risk are numerous and include effects on plasma lipids (202), endothelial function (127), insulin sensitivity (172), inflammation (108), and blood pressure (100).”
• C-reactive protein: a critical update. (2003, background): “Similarly, physical exercise (42) and moderate alcohol consumption (43) are both associated with lowering of base-line CRP concentration.”
• Depression as a Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease: Evidence, Mechanisms, and Treatment (2004, background): “Indeed, many of the proposed physiological mechanisms linking depression and CAD outcomes, such as alterations in ANS (161–163) and HPA axis functioning (6,94,98,99,164–167), insulin resistance (168), and inflammation (169), are likely to be directly targeted by exercise.”
