The emerging role of C-reactive protein in affective and psychotic disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background and objective C-reactive protein is a pentameric protein which is generated in the liver and secreted in the blood to play a central role in inflammation. The measurement of C-reactive protein in the blood provides a reliable marker of chronic inflammation caused by infectious and other inflammatory agents. Increased levels of C-reactive protein have been associated with chronic infections and inflammatory conditions as well as with increased risk of inflammatory cardiovascular disorders. The aim of this review is to elucidate the current facts and views about C-reactive protein in psychiatric disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Recent pre-clinical and clinical studies have revealed the C-reactive protein gene (CRP) is related to the degree of acute rise in plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Moreover, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CRP gene could associate with increased risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, obstructive pulmonary disease,...

Background & Aim: One the most common problems of patients on maintenance hemodialysis is sleep disorders that depends on comorbidities, age, morning dialysis shift, blood pressure and female gender. In addition, nocturnal and daytime sleep abnormalities are accompanied with cardiovascular and infectious diseases. On the other hand, inflammatory processes play an important role in individua...
متن کاملP99: The Role of C- Reactive Protein in Obesity and Neuropathic Diseases
Acute phase C-reactive protein (CRP), raised in obesity and inflammation, is a main binding protein for leptin. It is assumed that CRP contributes to leptin confrontation by preventing leptin from crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Here we defined how CRP cooperates with the BBB and whether it deters leptin from attainment CNS targets. CRP was constant in blood, but did not permeate the BB...
متن کاملLevels of C-reactive protein, creatine kinase-muscle and aldolase A are suitable biomarkers to detect the risk factors for osteoarthritic disorders: A novel diagnostic protocol
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP), creatine kinase-muscle (CK-MM) and aldolase A (AldoA) levels are predicted to be realistic biomarkers of osteoarthritic disorders (OADs). The objective of the study was to evaluate the levels of CRP, CK-MM, and AldoA and determine their correlations with risk factors such as inflammation, muscle degeneration, and skeletal muscle damage for OADs. Methods: B...

Background: Low-grade chronic inflammation, reflected in elevated levels of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), has recently been linked to obesity, insulin resistance syndromes such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Because the insulin sensitizer metformin has been shown to improve metabolic disturbances in PCOS, it was of particular interest to ...
