Obesity, Inflammation and Acute Myocardial Infarction - Expression of leptin, IL-6 and high sensitivity-CRP in Chennai based population

Abstract: BackgroundObesity, characterised by increased fat mass and is currently regarded as a pro-inflammatory state and often associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) including Myocardial infarction. There is an upregulation of inflammatory markers such as interleukin-6, interleukin-6 receptor and acute phase protein CRP in Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) patients but the exact mechanism linking obesity and inflammation is not known. It is of our interest to investigate if serum leptin (ob ge… Show more

“…Ceruloplasmin is an inflammation sensitive marker as well as an acute phase protein which is measured clinically. 10 Sarkar et al found negative correlation of fasting plasma glucose with antioxidants like ceruloplasmin in type 2 diabetes mellitus patient. It indicated increased glycation of protein that may damage antioxidant protein like ceruloplasmin.…”

“…It has been proposed that inflammatory cytokines, secreted by adipose tissue, exert an endocrine effect with insulin resistance in liver, skeletal muscle, and vascular endothelial tissue, leading to T2DM and cardiovascular disease [2].
