purpose lipocalin-2 (lcn2), a newer adipocyte-secreted acute phase protein, was recently reported to be correlated with potential effects on obesity and inflammation. the reaction of this protein to progressive exercise has not been evaluated yet. this study was designed to compare the serum lcn2 and high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-crp) levels after participating in an acute bout of tre...

Background: To evaluate the association between pre/post-procedural high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level and hs-CRP difference, and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or new diffusion-weighted MRI lesions after carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). Methods: In this study, conducted in 2016 in Shiraz (Iran), patients who underwent diagnostic angiography and CAS...

Background: Chronic periodontitis causes systemic inflammation and increases C-reactive protein (CRP). CRP has been implicated as a possible mediator of associating periodontitis and several systemic diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate systemic levels of CRP in patients with chronic periodontitis in comparison to periodontally healthy individuals.    Materials and methods:...

the present study aimed to evaluate the distributions of high-sensitivity c-reactive protein, tc-hdl ratio and 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases among iranian adult population. we conducted a cross-sectional study on a total of 2125 adults aged 25 to 65. data of the third national surveillance of risk factors of non-communicable diseases (surfncd-2007) was used. anthropometric indices, bl...

AIMS C-reactive protein and depressive mood (DM) are novel risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). The goal of the present study was to assess possible combined effects of these factors on the prediction of a future fatal and non-fatal coronary event. METHODS AND RESULTS Baseline highly sensitive (hs) C-reactive protein and DM were analysed in 3021 apparently healthy male subjects aged...

background: stroke is one of the most frequent causes of death and disability worldwide and has significant clinical and socioeconomic impact. hyperlipidemia and inflammation play major roles in atherothrombosis and in stroke. this study is conducted to compare the high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) levels and the lipid profile parameters between stroke patients and control group and de...

background: several changes in serum biochemical factors occur in acute myocardial infarction (ami). recently alterations in serum levels of homocysteine (hcy), sialic acid (sa) and high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) has been attended as risk factors and index for prediction. this study was aimed to show the alterations in these factors and their relationships in ami. methods: thirty fo...

  Background and Objectives: Preterm labor is a serious problem in obstetrics, accounting for 70% of perinatal mortality. High sensitive C - reactive protein (HS-CRP) is a sensitive marker of Inflammation. Our aim in this study was to determine Amniotic fluid hs-CRP concentration and its correlation with pre-Term delivery.   Materials and methods: This prospective study was conducted on 90 p...
