The Inflammatory Marker HSCRP as a Predictor of Increased Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetics without Atherosclerotic Manifestations

Abstract: Low-grade inflammation is not only a specific feature in type 2 diabetes mellitus, but also a contributor to cardiovascular risk. Together with insulin resistance as the main characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus, subclinical imflammation maintains a vicious cycle of health-damaging processes. Our study assessed the inflammatory marker hsCRP in relation to the metabolic profiles of type 2 diabetic patients without clinical atherosclerotic manifestations. The results confirmed the hypothesized connection, … Show more

“…Inflammatory marker hsCRP was found to be related to the metabolic profiles and was found to be a good prognostic marker of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetic patients without clinical atherosclerotic manifestations by various studies [15,16]. This indicates the significance of hsCRP in predicting cardiovascular complications in otherwise healthy-looking patients with raised blood glucose levels.…”

“…Thus, atherosclerosis is a complex chain of events developing in the vascular wall involving many cells, among which endothelial cells are key participants in vascular biology. In addition to the risk factors described above, insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus play an important role in atherogenesis [ 104 ]. It is important to note that NO production can be stimulated by insulin, whereas insulin resistance leads to impaired NO production [ 105 ].…”
