“…After 24 h, the mice were killed by cardiac puncture under anesthesia. Blood was collected without EDTA, and the sera separated by centrifugation were stored at 4 Њ C in the presence of 1 mM PMSF (in ethanol) and anti-bacterial agents (per milliliter of plasma: 0.5 g of gentamycin sulfate, 50 g of NaN 3 , and 1 g of chloramphenicol) and used within 2 weeks. Sera were used because some of the mice used in this study were also used for the study of paraoxonase (10), which is irreversibly inactivated by EDTA.…”

“…Two proteins of the innate acute inflammatory response are the focus of intensive research, C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A (SAA). These proteins have been shown to exhibit higher risk relationships with cardiovascular disease than serum cholesterol (3,4). Whether these proteins have any causal relationship with cardiovascular diseases or are simply markers of the inflammatory process is not known.…”

“…The chosen markers have all previously been observed to be affected by obesity and/or weight loss, but have been investigated in a very different manner. 9,10,[25][26][27][28][29][30] Therefore, we also compared the changes in the well-investigated markers, hs-CRP and IL-6, with the mentioned acute phase reactants as an effect of weight loss regimens and maintenance. Furthermore, we attempted to compare hs-CRP and IL-6 with more traditional risk markers of the insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) and CVD.…”

“…Associations exist between increased risk of cardiovascular events and elevated levels of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) [1][2][3][4] and serum amyloid A (SAA). [5][6][7] In addition, both CRP and SAA levels are increased with obesity and with insulin resistance. 8 -14 Although a high intake of dietary cholesterol also is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, 15,16 the effect of dietary cholesterol on plasma lipid levels varies substantially 17 and is influenced by the presence of lipid disorders, 18,19 as well as by obesity and insulin resistance.…”
