Background: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is progressively increasing in younger and adult population in India. It is a medical problem that increases risk of other diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain cancers. One of the causes of dyslipidaemia is obesity. High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP), is a marker of systemic inflammation and a predictor of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Hence it is important to check the relationship of hs-CRP with lipid profiles in obese and non-obese students.Methods: A case control observational study was carried out in 60 students. They were divided in to two groups obese and non-obese based on the BMI ranges. Serum lipid levels, hs-CRP and BMI was estimated in both groups to find out correlation of hs-CRP with lipid profile and BMI.Results: There was a significant rise in serum Total Cholesterol, LDL-C, Triacylglycerol and a significant fall in HDL-C in obese group as compared to non-obese group. Serum hs-CRP and BMI was significantly increased in obese students as compared to non-obese students. There was statistically significant positive correlation found between hs-CRP and total cholesterol, LDL-C, Triacylglycerol in obese students.Conclusions: Significant correlation was found between hs-CRP and lipid profile except HDL-C. Serum hs-CRP levels may decrease by treatment of dyslipidaemia. This would minimize the incidence of atherosclerosis and hence decrease the risk for development of coronary artery disease. Hence, improving the quality of life.

Introduction: The relationship between serum cholesterol and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk is attenuated at older age, making it difficult to estimate risk in this age group. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) would identify two subgroups of older individuals (≥65 years): one in whom cholesterol is less predictive of CHD and one in whom it is equally predictive compared to younger individuals. Methods: We calculated crude incident rates per 1,000 person-years and used adjusted Cox proportional hazards models to analyze cholesterol as a predictor of CHD in 8,947 participants with no known history of CHD who were stratified by age (53-64 or 65-75 years) and hs-CRP level (<2 or ≥2 mg/L) at baseline. Results: Among younger participants, total serum cholesterol was significantly associated with an increased risk of CHD regardless of hs-CRP group HR 1.39 (95% CI 1.20-1.61) for hs-CRP <2 mg/L and HR 1.37 (95% CI 1.22-1.53) for hs-CRP ≥2 mg/L. Among older participants with a low hs-CRP, total cholesterol had a similar association with CHD, HR 1.46 (95% CI 1.24-1.71), as in younger individuals. In contrast, among older individuals with higher hs-CRP, the association of CHD with total cholesterol was attenuated, HR 1.14 (95% CI 1.00-1.29), p-value for interaction = 0.02. Similar trends were observed between age groups and hs-CRP categories for LDL cholesterol. Conclusions: Among individuals aged 65-75 years, the association of cholesterol with CHD was strong in those with a low hs-CRP and weak in those with an elevated hs-CRP. Thus, in addition to its use as a risk factor, an elevated hs-CRP could be useful for stratifying the elderly population to aid in the interpretation of serum cholesterol in the prediction of subsequent CHD risk.

Abstract Introduction: Thyroid function and autoimmunity has been associated with cardiovascular events in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis. Objectives: To evaluate the association between thyroid function, antithyroid antibodies levels, insulin resistance and markers of cardiovascular risk in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis. Methods: We evaluated 228 patients with autoimmune thyroiditis, 93.9 % female, with a mean age of 47.06 ± 15.35 years. We analyzed thyroid function, anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-Tg), anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO), HOMA-IR, HOMA-B, QUICKI, HISI (Hepatic Insulin Sensitivity Index), WBISI (Whole-Body Insulin Sensitivity Index), the levels of lipid profile, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), homocysteine, folic acid, and vitamin B12. We defined 3 groups based on TSH levels: TSH between 0.35-2.49 µUI/ml, (n = 166), TSH between 2.50-4.94 µUI/ml, (n = 43) and TSH over 4.95 µUI/ml, (n = 19), and normal levels of free T4 and free T3. A 75-g OGTT was performed in the morning and blood samples were obtained every 30 min for 120 min for measurements of plasma glucose, insulin, and C-peptide. For the statistical analysis we used the Mann-Whitney test and Spearman correlations. Results are expressed as means ± SD or percentages. A two-tailed p&lt;0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There were no significant differences regarding median age or median BMI between groups. We did not find any significant differences comparing group with TSH 0.35-2.49 and group with TSH 2.50-4.94, in all parameters evaluated. Group with TSH 2.50-4.94 had higher indexes of QUICKI (0.69 ± 0.39 vs 0.48 ± 0.13; p = 0.02) and HISI (79.83 ± 63.72 vs 41.73 ± 29.02; p = 0.01) than group with TSH over 4.95. The group with TSH over 4.95 demonstrated a higher index of HOMA-IR than group with TSH 2.50-4.94 (3.77 ± 2.93 vs 1.95 ± 1.24; p = 0.01). In the TSH 0.35-2.49 group we found significant correlations between TSH and HOMA-IR (r= 0.18; p = 0.01), total cholesterol and anti-TPO (r =0.23; p = 0.002), anti-Tg and HDL-cholesterol (r= -0.17; p=0.002), anti-Tg and triglycerides (r=0.34; p &lt; 0.001), and anti-Tg and LDL-cholesterol (r=0.16; p=0.03). In the TSH 2.50-4.94 group we observed positive correlation between Apo A1 and HOMA-B (r=0.58; p&lt;0.001), HOMA-IR and LDL-cholesterol (r=0.34; p=0.02) and WBISI and HDL-cholesterol (r=0.34; p=0.02). In the TSH over 4.95 group we observed a correlation between TSH and triglycerides (r=0.70; p&lt;0.001) and between anti-Tg and hs-CRP (r=0.64; p=0.004). Conclusions: The association among TSH, lipid profile, insulin resistance, hs-CRP and antithyroid antibodies in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis may contribute to an increased cardiovascular risk, not only in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism but also in those classified as euthyroid.

Abstract Background: Increased concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation, are associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease. Because of its relationship to inflammation, hs-CRP has considerable biologic variation. This study was carried out to characterize CRP variation and to compare it to another risk factor, total serum cholesterol. Methods: One hundred thirteen individuals were scheduled to have five measurements each of hs-CRP and total cholesterol carried out at quarterly intervals over a 1-year period. Variations of hs-CRP and total cholesterol were characterized, and classification accuracy was described and compared for both. Results: The relative variation was comparable for hs-CRP and total cholesterol. When classified by quartile, 63% of first and second hs-CRP measurements were in agreement; for total cholesterol it was 60%. Ninety percent of hs-CRP measurements were within one quartile of each other. This relationship was not altered by the use of log-transformed hs-CRP data. Conclusion: hs-CRP has a degree of measurement stability that is similar to that of total cholesterol.

Introduction: Stroke is the neurological deficit of abrupt onset attributable to focal vascular cause and makes a considerable contribution to morbidity and mortality. High sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) is an acute-phase reactant tends to increase at the onset of inflammation. Atherosclerosis, a major risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases involves inflammation which is triggered by dyslipidaemia. Objective: To estimate and compare levels of serum hs-CRP and lipid profile in patients with ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke. Methods: Present study comprised of 90 subjects, 30 ischemic stroke, 30 haemorrhagic stroke and 30 as apparently healthy control. Blood samples obtained within 24 hours of presentation were analysed for serum hsCRP and lipid profile. Results: In the present study Median age was 52 years, 52.5 years and 54 years in control, ischemic stroke and haemorrhagic stroke respectively. Hs-CRP levels were raised in ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke compared to normal control (F-value=96.78; p<0.0001). Total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL- cholesterol levels were significantly raised while HDL- cholesterol levels were low in ischemic stroke and haemorrhagic stroke than control (p<0.05). Conclusion: Increased serum hs-CRP levels and dyslipidemia were observed in ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke. But serum hs-CRP cannot differentiate type of stroke.

Background: Obesity is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with increased circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). Bariatric surgery has been reported to be effective in improving both inflammatory and liver status. Our aims were to elucidate the relationships between pre-surgery high sensitivity-CRP (hs-CRP) values and post-surgery weight loss and liver steatosis and fibrosis in patients with severe obesity undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Methods: We conducted an observational prospective study on 90 individuals with morbid obesity, who underwent gastric bypass. Anthropometric indices, laboratory assessment (lipid panel, glycemic status, liver enzymes, and hs-CRP), liver stiffness and steatosis were evaluated at baseline and 6-months after surgery. Results: There was a significant post-surgery reduction in all the anthropometric variables, with an average weight loss of 33.93 ± 11.79 kg; the mean percentage of total weight loss (TWL) was 27.96 ± 6.43%. Liver elasticity was significantly reduced (from 6.1 ± 1.25 to 5.42 ± 1.52 kPa; p = 0.002), as well as liver aminotransferases, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score (NFS) and the grade of steatosis. Serum hs-CRP levels significantly reduced (from 9.26 ± 8.45 to 3.29 ± 4.41 mg/L; p < 0.001). The correlations between hs-CRP levels and liver fibrosis (elastography), steatosis (ultrasonography), fibrosis-4 index, NFS, and surgery success rate were not significant. Regression analyses showed that serum hs-CRP levels were not predictive of liver status and success rate after surgery in both unadjusted and adjusted models. Conclusions: In patients with morbid obesity, bariatric surgery caused a significant decrease in hs-CRP levels, liver stiffness and steatosis. Baseline hs-CRP values did not predict the weight-loss success rate and post-surgery liver status.

Caga Status

Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) may induce a persistent systemic inflammatory response in cardiac syndrome X (CSX). We aimed to evaluate relationship of CagA status and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in CSX patients. Sixty CSX patients and 60 gender matched controls were enrolled. Plasma samples were tested in terms of the presence of IgG antibody to Helicobacterpylori (anti-H. pylori) and CagA (anti-CagA) using ELISA method. Also, plasma level of hs-CRP was measured by ELISA method. CSX patients were detected to have significantly higher plasma hs-CRP level in comparison with the control ones (3.64 ± 3.07 vs. 0.54 ± 0.49, µg/ml, P = 0.0001). Plasma levels of hs-CRP in CSX patients with anti-CagA+ were significantly higher than those in anti-CagA(-) (CSX: 4.66±3.63 vs. 2.58±1.95 µg/ml, P = 0.011). Also, plasma levels of hs-CRP in the controls with anti-CagA+ were significantly higher than those in anti-CagA- (1.05±0.68 vs. 0.32±0.31 µg/ml, respectively, P = 0.004). The present data suggested that CagA status was probably associated with susceptibility to severe CSX by causing inflammation. The evidence for this hypothesis indicated that levels of hs-CRP increased in anti-CagA+ patients compared to the anti-CagA- ones.

Background: There is a paucity of information on the time-dependent relationship of cardiac biomarkers to infarct size and left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI). We sought to investigate the relationship between levels high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and indices of infarct size and LV volume after acute MI. Methods: A total of 86 patients with ST-elevation MI within 12 hours after the symptom onset underwent delayed enhancement multi-detector computed tomography (DE MDCT) immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to determine infarct size. LV function and remodeling were assessed by echocardiography. Hs-CRP and NT-proBNP were serially measured at admission, 24 hours, and 2 months. DE MDCT and echocardiography were repeated at 2 months after PCI. Results: Levels of both hs-CRP and NT-proBNP at 24 hours showed positive correlation with infarct size at baseline and at 2 months, and negative correlation with LV ejection fraction at baseline and at 2 months. NT-proBNP at 2 months correlated with infarct size (r=0.561, p=0.007), LV ejection fraction (r= - 0.539, p=0.010), and LV end diastolic and systolic volume indices at 2 months (r=0.796, p=0.032 and r=0.831, p=0.021, respectively). NT-proBNP was higher in patients who developed LV remodeling at 2 months: 929 pg/mL vs. 134 pg/mL, p = 0.002. In contrast, hs-CRP at 2 months showed no relationship to infarct size, LV function, or LV volumes at 2 months. Conclusions: Elevated hs-CRP during active myocardial necrosis was associated with infarct size and LV dysfunction, whereas elevated levels of NT-proBNP early and late after the onset of acute MI were both correlated with infarct size, LV dysfunction, and LV remodeling.
