Serum resistin is associated with C-reactive protein and LDL- cholesterol in type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease in a Saudi population [PDF]

, 2005
Aims Resistin is an adipocyte-derived factor implicated in obesity-associated type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This study examines the association between human serum resistin, T2DM and coronary heart disease.

Are markers of inflammation more strongly associated with risk for fatal than for nonfatal vascular events? [PDF]

, 2009
<p><b>Background:</b> Circulating inflammatory markers may more strongly relate to risk of fatal versus nonfatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, but robust prospective evidence is lacking.

Circulating progenitor cell count for cardiovascular risk stratification: a pooled analysis [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Circulating progenitor cells (CPC) contribute to the homeostasis of the vessel wall, and a reduced CPC count predicts cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

IL-27 regulates IL-18 binding protein in skin resident cells [PDF]

, 2012
IL-18 is an important mediator involved in chronic inflammatory conditions such as cutaneous lupus erythematosus, psoriasis and chronic eczema. An imbalance between IL-18 and its endogenous antagonist IL-18 binding protein (BP) may account for increased ...

Association between smoking and presence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in circulation leukocytes

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2010
PRINCIPLES: The morbidity and mortality of infectious diseases due to smoking are not widely appreciated by physicians. However, cigarette smoking appears to be a major risk factor for respiratory tract and other systemic infections.

Relationship Among Circulating Inflammatory Proteins, Platelet Gene Expression, and Cardiovascular Risk [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2013
Objective— Cardiovascular disease is a complex disorder influenced by interactions of genetic variants with environmental factors. However, there is no information from large community-based studies examining the relationship of circulating cell–specific RNA to inflammatory proteins.

, 2011
Background Chronic low-grade inflammation, characterized by elevated plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), has been inversely associated with dispositional optimism.

The effect of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist therapy on markers of inflammation in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes:the MRC-ILA Heart Study [PDF]

, 2014
AIMS: Acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) are driven by inflammation within coronary plaque. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has an established role in atherogenesis and the vessel-response to injury. ACS patients have raised serum markers of inflammation.

Peritoneal dialysis influences microRNA expression and pro-inflammatory response: results from a cross-sectional study [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Nephrology
Introduction: The investigation of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) and inflammatory response associated with the different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may reveal biomarkers of disease pathogenesis. Our goal was to identifying differences in the
