CRP and NT-ProBNP were measured by using a nephelometric and an immunometric method, respectively. Results: With regards to EPCs, we observed a significantly increase at T2 with respect to T1 [CD34KDR: 7 (0-27) vs. 13 (0-37) cells/106 events p140.010; CD133KDR: 7...
No differences were observed in blood biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TropT) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), either among participants or compared to controls. Structural heart disease by way of reduced left ventricular ...
The normal-weight group served as the reference group, and the multivariable model was sequentially adjusted for age, sex, smoking (yes or no), drinking (yes or no), physical exercise (yes or no), high salt intake (>6 g/d; yes or no), LDL-C level, HDL-C level, eGFR, hs-CRP ...

The central arterial pressure was reduced by dealcoholized red wine at 7.4 mmHg, and at 5.4 mmHg by regular red wine. Resveratrol increases flow-mediated vasodilation in a dose-related manner, improves endothelial dysfunction, prevents uncoupling of eNOS, increases...

Levels of plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured using a high-sensitivity method (IMMAGE; Beckman Coulter, Immunochemistry Systems, Brea, CA) with a detection limit of 0.2 mg/L. The intra-assay coefficient of variation was 4.2% to 8.7% for high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP). Samples ...
