Higher levels of C-reactive protein associated with higher adiposity in mexican schoolchildren.
INTRODUCTION The development of chronic-degenerative diseases secondary to obesity in early infancy has alerted health providers to the importance of identifying the risk factors for obesity and assessing preventive treatment to reduce risks. Studies performed on a pediatric population have examined the role of inflammatory biomarkers (specifically CRP and TNF-α) and adiposity with inconsistent...
متن کاملTrauma exposure rather than posttraumatic stress disorder is associated with reduced baseline plasma neuropeptide-Y levels.
BACKGROUND Exposure to uncontrollable stress reduces baseline plasma neuropeptide-Y levels in animals. We previously reported that baseline plasma neuropeptide-Y levels, as well as neuropeptide-Y responses to yohimbine, were lower in combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder, but we were unable to determine whether this was attributable to posttraumatic stress disorder or trauma exposu...
متن کاملAssessment of plasma C-reactive protein as a biomarker of posttraumatic stress disorder risk.
IMPORTANCE Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated in cross-sectional studies with peripheral inflammation. It is not known whether this observed association is the result of PTSD predisposing to inflammation (as sometimes postulated) or to inflammation predisposing to PTSD. OBJECTIVE To determine whether plasma concentration of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP...
متن کاملDepression is associated with increased C-reactive protein levels in patients with heart failure and hyperuricemia
Psychological depression is considered a major determinant of health status in patients with heart failure (HF). The incidence of depression in HF is four to five times higher than that in the general population. HF and depression share common pathophysiological features, which include stimulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathetic activity, and elevated levels of ...
متن کاملEstrogen levels are associated with extinction deficits in women with posttraumatic stress disorder.
BACKGROUND Women are twice as likely to develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than men. As shown in our previous work, the inability to suppress fear responses in safe conditions may be a biomarker for PTSD. Low estrogen in naturally cycling women is associated with deficits in fear extinction. On the basis of these findings, we have now examined the influence of estrogen levels on fear ...
