Role of C Reactive Protein (CRP) in Leptin Resistance

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...

C-reactive Protein (crp) and Its Predictive Role

Inverse Association of Serum Leptin with Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) in Regular Hemodialysis Patients

Received:October 3, 2005 Accepted:December 20, 2005 ABSTRACT Objective: To elucidate whether and how in patients with uremia on hemodialysis the level of CRP as the marker of inflammation correlate with serum leptin. Patients and Methods: Serum leptin and CRP were determined on patients with ESRD on hemodialysis Results: The total patients were 36 (f =15, m=21). The mean patient's age were 46 (...

C-reactive protein: CRP IL-6 homocysteine.

C-reactive protein (CRP) in early diagnosis of neonatal septicemia.

The usefulness of CRP in early detection of neonatal septicemia/meningitis and urinary tract infection was studied in a neonatal unit using a semiquantitative latex-agglutination as a rapid screening method, and electroimmuno assay as reference method for CRP determination. In 94% of non-infected infants CRP was less than or equal to 15 mg/l and 82% had CRP less than 10 mg/l up to 3 days of age...
