Background: Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion and insulin action or both. T2DM is associated with chronic low grade inflammation, possibly through a pathway involving a cytokine-mediated acute-phase response to infection and other inflammatory processes. authors aim to study C-reactive protein (CRP) which is an acute-phase reactant produced primarily in the liver hepatocytes. Oxidative stress levels in newly diagnosed T2M patients were analysed with respect to malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO).Methods: Case-control study comprising of aged-sex matched subjects: newly diagnosed T2DM cases (n=30) and controls (n=30). The serum samples of subjects were analysed for levels of MDA by Buege and Aust method, while NO levels by Cortas and Wakid’s kinetic cadmium reduction method using spectrophotometer. CRP levels were analysed by using turbidimetry. Statistical analysis was done using Mini-tab 17 software with 95% confidence interval.Results: Serum levels of MDA, NO and CRP in newly diagnosed T2DM patients were significantly increased as compared to healthy controls.Conclusions:  Authors concluded that the oxidative stress and inflammation plays a pivotal role in the aetiology of hyperglycemia in T2DM. Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers might help prognosis of T2DM in hyperglycemic individuals with the help of which precautionary measure can be taken to reduce the rate of disease progression. Treatment involving anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory medications might help to rescue vital organs from damage.

Information concerning the mechanisms underlying oxidative stress and low-grade inflammation in young healthy women predisposing eventually to future diseases is scarce. We investigated the relationship of oxidative stress and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in fertile-age women by oral combined contraceptive (OC) use. Caucasian Italian healthy non-obese women (n = 290; 100 OC-users; 190 non-OC-users; mean age 23.2 ± 4.7 years) were analyzed. Blood hydroperoxides, as oxidative stress biomarkers, were assessed by Free Oxygen Radical Test (FORT). Serum hsCRP was determined by an ultra-sensitive method (hsCRP). Markedly elevated oxidative stress (≥400 FORT Units) was found in 77.0% of OC-users and 1.6% of non-OC-users, odds ratio (OR) = 209, 95% CI = 60.9–715.4, p < 0.001. Elevated hsCRP levels ≥ 2.0 mg/L, considered risky for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), were found in 41.0% of OC-users and 9.5% of non-OC-users, OR = 6.6, 95%CI 3.5–12.4, p < 0.001. Hydroperoxides were strongly positively correlated to hsCRP in all women (rs = 0.622, p < 0.001), in OC-users (rs = 0.442, p < 0.001), and in non-OC-users (rs = 0.426, p < 0.001). Women with hydroperoxides ≥ 400 FORT Units were eight times as likely to have hsCRP ≥ 2 mg/L. In non-OC-users only, hydroperoxides values were positively correlated with weight and body mass index, but negatively correlated with red meat, fish and chocolate consumption. Our research is the first finding a strong positive correlation of serum hydroperoxides with hsCRP, a marker of low-grade chronic inflammation, in young healthy women. Further research is needed to elucidate the potential role of these two biomarkers in OC-use associated side-effects, like thromboembolism and other CVDs.

A full-length C-reactive protein (CRP) cDNA clone has been isolated from a CBA/J-strain-mouse acute-phase liver library. The 1614-nucleotide cDNA specifies mRNA 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions of 81 and 858 bases respectively that flank 675 bases encoding mouse pre-CRP. The derived amino acid sequence predicts a 19-residue leader peptide followed by a 206-residue mature mouse CRP that shows considerable sequence identity with both human and rabbit CRP. Northern-blot analysis of mouse liver CRP mRNA concentrations after inflammatory stimuli and comparison with hepatic induction of mRNA for the major mouse acute-phase protein serum amyloid P component established that CRP, a major acute-phase reactant in human and rabbit, is a minor acute-phase reactant in mouse. The size and organization of the mouse CRP mRNA 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions are significantly different from those of human and rabbit CRP mRNA and may have implications for its anomalous minimal induction during acute inflammation.

AbstractBackground:Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a chronic and multifactorial syndrome characterized by a low-grade chronic inflammation, and a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In our study, we aimed to investigate the serum levels of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), haptoglobin (Hp), αMethods:This study was performed in 43 (18 males, 25 females) MetS adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 years (14.70±1.15) and 43 lean controls were matched for age and sex. The serum levels of Hp, αResults:Serum Hp, fetuin-A (p<0.01) and PF-4, hs-CRP, SAP, AGP (p<0.001) values of the MetS subjects were significantly higher than those of the controls. No difference was found in serum αConclusions:This finding suggests the possibility of using these markers in diagnosis of MetS in adolescents to prevent future complications.

Irreversible Aggregation

C-reactive protein is the prototypic acute phase reactant. A self- complexed form (H-CRP) can induce isolated platelets to undergo aggregation, secretion of dense and alpha-granule constituents, and generation of thromboxane A2, but fails to function in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a direct agonist. In contrast, when PRP was activated with an amount of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) that produced only reversible platelet aggregation, the presence of H-CRP resulted in irreversible aggregation and the secretion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Following a maximum stimulus with ADP alone, where platelet secretion occurred late during the aggregation response, the presence of H-CRP shifted and increased the secretory burst to a time simultaneous with the onset of aggregation. This hypersecretion required H-CRP to be present prior to platelet stimulation or to be added within 15 to 30 seconds following the addition of ADP. H-CRP also potentiated platelet activation stimulated with epinephrine, thrombin, and collagen. When the synergism generated in PRP by H-CRP in the presence of ADP or epinephrine was compared to the synergism similarly produced by aggregated human IgG, collagen, or thrombin, it more closely resembled that of collagen, as reflected by the kinetics and characteristics of synergism and sensitivity to creatine phosphate/creatine phosphokinase or 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid. These data provide a philosophically ideal niche for the acute phase (and C-reactive protein) in that a platelet-directed activity associated with this acute phase reactant is not utilized unless platelets are otherwise challenged.

Gluten Sensitive Enteropathy

SummaryBackground:The objective here is to examine the role of overall oxidative stress in the etiopathogenesis of gluten-sensitive enteropathy disease and its relationship with gluten free diet and autoantibodies.Methods:Eighty gluten-sensitive enteropathy patients and 80 control group participants were included in the study. As oxidative stress parameters, we researched total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), paraoxonase-1 and arylesterase parameters in the serum samples of gluten-sensitive enteropathy patients.Results:In comparison to the control group, gluten-sensitive enteropathy patients had lower TAS, paraoxonase-1 and arylesterase levels and gluten-sensitive enteropathy patients had considerable TOS and OSI levels. In contrast, patients who agreed to the gluten free eating routine had a higher OSI proportion and patients who did not conform to the gluten free eating regimen had a lower paraoxonase-1 level. An affirming reciprocation was de tected amidst TOS and OSI proportion and gluten-sensitive enteropathy autoantibodies and C-reactive protein levels and a negative correlation was found between arylesterase level and gluten-sensitive enteropathy autoantibodies.Conclusions:We observed oxidative stress levels to be higher in gluten-sensitive enteropathy patients contrasted with the control group. Oxidative stress level showed differences in gluten-sensitive enteropathy patients depending on gluten diet content and autoantibody positivity. In point of fact, C-reactive protein and gluten-sensitive enteropathy autoantibodies are identified with oxidative anxiety parameters resulting in the possibility that oxidative stress might be successful in the gluten-sensitive enteropathy pathogenesis.
