Relationship of serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein to metabolic syndrome and microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes

Association of High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein with the Components of Metabolic Syndrome in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Individuals

“…Several studies have shown different hsCRP level in different population [21][22][23][24]. Analysis of data from NHANES, 1999 through 2002 showed the median hsCRP levels of 2.1 mg/l among US adults (20 years of age and older) [25].…”

The C609T variant of NQO1 is associated with carotid artery plaques in patients with type 2 diabetes

“…High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) was measured as previously described [10]. Plasma total cholesterol, fasting triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDLcholesterol, FPG and 2-h postprandial plasma glucose levels were measured.…”

The 11482G>A Polymorphism in the Perilipin Gene Is Associated With Weight Gain With Rosiglitazone Treatment in Type 2 Diabetes

“…The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated using the following formula to estimate the level of insulin sensitivity: fasting insulin [(U/ml) ϫ fasting glucose (mmol/l)]/22.5 (32). A BN II nephelometer analyzer (Dade Behring, Newark, DE) was used to measure serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels using a latex-enhanced, immunonephelometric assay method as previously described (33,34). Serum adiponectin concentrations were measured using a commercial radioimmunoassay kit (Linco Research, St. Charles, MO).…”
