Low-grade inflammation and microalbuminuria in hypertension.
UNLABELLED Background- Albuminuria and C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic low-grade inflammation, are frequently elevated in essential hypertension and predict cardiovascular prognosis independent of conventional risk factors.

متن کاملLow-grade systemic inflammation in overweight children.
OBJECTIVE Human adipose tissue expresses and releases the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6, potentially inducing low-grade systemic inflammation in persons with excess body fat. To limit potential confounding by inflammation-related diseases and subclinical cardiovascular disease, we tested the hypothesis that overweight is associated with low-grade systemic inflammation in children. DE...
متن کاملAssociation between butyrylcholinesterase activity and low-grade systemic inflammation.
BACKGROUND Pro-inflammatory cytokine production is directly inhibited by acetylcholine (ACh), and a relationship between total circulating ACh hydrolytic capacity and inflammatory reactions has been previously reported. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is the major ACh hydrolyzing enzyme in plasma, and the aim of our study was to evaluate its association with low-grade systemic inflammation. MATE...
متن کاملAcetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase as markers of low-grade systemic inflammation.
Low-grade systemic inflammation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemias, Alzheimer’s disease, proliferative diabetic retinopathy; age-related macular degeneration, minimal change nephropathy and various rheumatological conditions.1,2 Hence, development of reliable, unique and robust markers is essential. In this...
متن کاملPhysical activity, exercise and low-grade systemic inflammation.
Prospective studies have shown that chronic low-grade inflammation may contribute to the pathogenesis of the most common chronic diseases and in particular CVD. Obesity has repeatedly been associated with moderately raised levels of inflammation, and this observation has led to the view that obesity is characterised by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. There is now great interest in el...
