Introduction: High sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a very sensitive marker of inflammation, which is synthesized in the liver and has been a widely used biomarker for risk stratifying in Cardio vascular disease (CVD). It is positively correlated with abdominal fat and closely correlated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and obesity had the predominant association with cytokine levels. Obesity induces systemic oxidative stress and causes dysregulation of adipo cytokines and development of metabolic syndrome. In our study, we investigated hsCRP levels in non-obese hypertensive subjects on treatment and its relationship with oxidative stress and lipid profile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
