Exposure to secondhand smoke leads to inflammation and oxidation, representing another pathophysiologic mechanism for the development of atherosclerosis.
Today we're going to discuss the anemia of inflammation -- starting with its mechanisms, then looking at a fairly new genetic link between inflammation and anemia, and including how we can apply all of this to our patients.
The anti-inflammatory potential of an oral p38 MAPK inhibitor in humans in vivo suggests that p38 MAPK inhibitors may provide a new therapeutic option in the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Boehringer Ingelheim. 2002 Branger J, et al
Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Pioglitazone and/or Simvastatin in High Cardiovascular Risk Patients With Elevated High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein The PIOSTAT Study
PERSISTENT LOW-GRADE INFLAMMATION, as indicated by higher circulating levels of inflammatory mediators such as C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-, is a strong risk factor for several chronic diseases. There are data indicating t
Baseline values of C reactive protein, serum amyloid A protein, leucocyte count, and serum albumin were associated with one another as well as with future risk of coronary heart disease.
Over 20 large-scale prospective studies show that the inflammatory biomarker high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is an independent predictor of future cardiovascular events
Researchers say circulating mononuclear cells (the largest type of white blood cell) and lymphocytes, exist in a proinflammatory state in obese persons known to be at increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, or both.
A high-glycemic diet w/high blood insulin, overabundant omega-6 from processed vegetable oils, high-heat cooking of proteins (leading to glycation)...all lead to increased inflammatory cytokines.
Underlying the body’s healing response is a process by which tissues inflame. Chronic inflammation, if left unchecked, can devastate the body’s tissues, especially in the vascular and nervous systems. Numerous natural products help control the inflamm
