Increased values of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are predictors of acute coronary events. We analysed the link between CIMT and hs-CRP in cases with coronary artery disease (CAD). From 1 January to 30 June 2012, we evaluated 43 patients with acute coronary syndrome (group A), 50 patients with stable coronary artery disease (group B) and ...

Objective The pathogenesis of depression is not fully understood, but studies have suggested that higher circulating levels of C reactive protein (CRP) might relate to depression occurrence. However, due to the highly variability of individual patients' conditions, the results to date are inconsistent. Considering Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CRP gene have also been suggested to pr...

OBJECTIVE C-reactive protein, a well known marker of inflammation is being investigated as a probable marker of predicting acute cardiovascular events and its severity. The aim of the present study was to assess the possible role of highly-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in predicting short-term functional outcome of ischemic stroke. METHODOLOGY A prospective study was conducted on su...

objective: the goal of the current research was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on c-reactive protein (crp) and lipid profile in overweight-obese women with subclinical hypothyroidism. methods: this study enrolled 23 women who suffered from subclinical hypothyroidism. patients' average age was 41.08±6.56 years and bmi was >25 kg/m2. subjects, following medical screening, were obje...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the potential relationships between plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D(3) (25OHD(3)), C-reactive protein (CRP), coronary artery atherosclerosis (CAA), and coronary artery remodeling in monkeys consuming atherogenic diets. METHODS Female cynomolgus monkeys (n = 74) were fed a casein-lactalbumin (C/L)-based, moderately atherogenic diet for 12 months. They...

Cyclic AMP (cAMP) and the cAMP receptor protein (cAMP-CRP) and CsrA are the principal regulators of the catabolite repression and carbon storage global regulatory systems, respectively. cAMP-CRP controls the transcription of genes for carbohydrate metabolism and other processes in response to carbon nutritional status, while CsrA binds to diverse mRNAs and regulates translation, RNA stability, ...
