Relationship between High-Density Lipoprotein and C-reactive Protein in Patients with Atherosclerosis
Abstract Background and Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease mostly caused by oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDLs) while High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) oppose atherosclerosis by inhibiting the oxidation of LDLs. Serum concentration of C- reactive protein (CRP) also increases as an acute phase protein in inflammatory conditions like atherosclerosis. We aimed to evalu...
متن کاملRelationship Between C-Reactive Protein and Subclinical Atherosclerosis
Background—Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with increased risk for incident cardiovascular events on the basis of observations from several prospective epidemiological studies. However, less is known regarding the relationship between CRP levels and atherosclerotic burden. Methods and Results—We measured CRP in 3373 subjects 30 to 65 years of age who were participatin...
متن کاملC-reactive protein, subclinical atherosclerosis, and risk of cardiovascular events.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an independent determinant of risk of stroke among both men and women. For instance, in the Framingham Study, the relative risk for future stroke for the highest quartile of CRP compared with the lowest was 2.0 for men and 2.7 for women.1 The association between CRP and risk of stroke among men and women in this cohort persisted after adjustment for age, smoking, tot...
متن کاملSerum Level of High Sensitive C-Reactive Protein in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancies
Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the level of plasma high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in preeclampsia and to compare hs-CRP levels between normal pregnant women, mild preeclamptic, and severe preeclamptic women. Materials and Methods: Serum hs-CRP levels were inv...
متن کاملAssociation of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and uric acid with the metabolic syndrome components
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been found to be associated with inflammatory molecules. This study was conducted among 125 MetS patients at B P Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal to find an association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and serum uric acid with MetS components. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, medical history and blood samples were taken...
