This technique has been used to provide evidence of causal associations of serum estradiol concentrations, smoking, body mass index, and type 2 diabetes with bone mineral density and the lack of associations of serum thyroid stimulating hormone, urate, C-reactive protein, and 25‑hydroxyvitamin D concentrations with bone mineral density in generally healthy populations.
Study selection Two reviewers independently determined eligibility of studies across three sources of evidence (observational studies, genetic association studies, and randomised controlled trials) related to four risk markers: depression, exercise, C reactive protein, and type 2 diabetes.
We assayed the association of two frequent polymorphisms in proinflammatory cytokines: the interleukin 6 G(-174)C promoter polymorphism [IL-6G(-174)C], the exon 2 interleukin receptor antagonist insertion deletion polymorphism [IL1RA]) and serum CRP levels with the prevalence of diabetic nephropathy in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Our results show that a family history of Type 2 diabetes is an independent contributor of CRP concentrations, in addition to age, total fatness, central fat accumulation, and insulin resistance.
The main objective of the current study was to understand how CRP was related to trauma, dissociation, PTSD and MDD in a sample of 55 traumatized African American women with type 2 diabetes mellitus recruited from an urban hospital.
After adjusting for traditional risk factors and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, 10-year new-onset T2DM risk was significantly increased in subjects in the highest tertile of baseline serum ferritin levels [odds ratio (OR)=1.80, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.17-2.79] and in subjects with high serum ferritin levels in both 2002 and 2007 (OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.01-2.34).
We found 203 persons with T2DM.Subjects with incident T2DM tended to be older, had a higher prevalence of drinking, had higher systolic and diastolic pressures; total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and C-reactive protein levels; waist circumference; body mass index; and heart rate and lower HDL-C level than did those without T2DM.
Associations have been suggested of high-dose ionising radiation exposure with type-2 diabetes and elevated levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of chronic inflammation.
Atorvastatin significantly reduced homocysteine and C-reactive protein, and delayed and reversed the progress of carotid atherosclerosis in very elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.
The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, CRP, BMI, and LDL; lack of exercise; SAS; HAQ; and SF36 assessment were risk factors for the development of T2DM in COM patients.
This study sought to investigate the extent of inflammation and oxidative stress in adult uncomplicated malaria by measuring fasting levels of lipid peroxides, C-reactive protein (CRP), and total antioxidant power (TAP) before and during falciparum malaria, in 100 respondents with type 2 diabetes and 100 age-matched controls in the Cape Coast metropolis of Ghana.
In adults, markers of subclinical inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP] and interleukin [IL]-6) and endothelial activation (intracellular adhesion molecule [ICAM]-1) are associated with obesity and higher risk for incident type 2 diabetes.
Compared to CC men, CT and TT men had an adjusted [for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, triglyceride and C-reactive protein levels] hazard ratio for T2D of 1.65 (1.13-2.41) and 1.87 (0.99-3.53), respectively, p<0.01.
Further adjustment for alcohol, smoking, physical activity, prevalent cardiovascular disease, serum total cholesterol, use of lipid-lowering medications, systolic BP, treatment for hypertension, C-reactive protein, oestradiol and testosterone did not substantially affect the association between DHEA and incident type 2 diabetes (per 1 unit natural log-transformed, HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.65, 0.99), but abolished the association between DHEAS and type 2 diabetes.
To investigate the relationship between the presence of periapical lesions (PL) and levels of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with type 2 diabetes.
The application of PCT to predict local infection in patients with T2DM was identified to be inferior to CRP, but its ability to predict sepsis was concluded to be the best when compared with CRP, white blood cell count and neutrophil percent.
Finally, most of the well-known (i.e., blood pressure, heart rate, waist to hip, triglycerides, and HDL-C) and novel CVD risk factors [i.e., inflammation markers (C-reactive protein, leukocytes, and chemoattractant protein-1), fibrinogen, and glucose homeostasis (i.e., insulin resistance, and glycated hemoglobin)] are substantially (<i>p</i> < 0.0001) altered in severe-obese-LH: 0-2 vs overweight-LH: 0-2, pointing to the fact that obesity leads to worsen the CVD/T2D risk factor profile.
