How handling extreme C-reactive protein (CRP) values and regularization influences CRP and depression criteria associations in network analyses

C-reactive protein: CRP IL-6 homocysteine.

Association of C-reactive protein (CRP) gene polymorphisms, serum CRP levels and cervical cancer prognosis.

BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) is the prototypical biomarker of inflammation. Genetic variations within the CRP gene have been shown to be associated with alterations of CRP expression and prognosis in cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between four polymorphisms of the CRP gene, CRP serum levels, clinicopathological parameters of cervical cancer and...

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Autoimmune Disease: Facts and Conjectures

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a blood component comprised of five identical subunits with a combined molecular mass of 110 kDa; in the presence of Ca++ it binds phosphocholine (PC) with high affinity. Ligand-bound CRP activates complement and the protein reportedly binds various Fc receptors. Coincident with a now decade-long resurgence in clinical interest in associations of CRP with disease, ou...

C-reactive Protein (crp) and Its Predictive Role

Role of C Reactive Protein (CRP) in Leptin Resistance

Increased plasma levels of both leptin and C reactive protein (CRP) have been reported in a number of conditions, including obesity, and have been linked to cardiovascular pathophysiological processes and increased cardiovascular risk; interestingly these two biomarkers appear to be able to reciprocally regulate their bioavailability, through complex mechanisms that have not been completely cla...
