We were grateful to a number of people who contacted us about our article on how to use C reactive protein (CRP).1Abelian from Wrexham Maelor Hospital drew our attention to data on plasma half-life, suggesting this was 19 hours in an adult2 rather than the previously quoted 4–7 hours....
with elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, rosuvastatin significantly reduced the incidence of major cardiovascular events, despite the fact that nearly all study participants had baseline lipid levels that were well below the threshold for treatment according to current prevention guidelines....
but in humans, we should measure our own baseline and reduce from that. If you’re currently obese, then you may need to decrease calorie intake significantly more than what a person who has a BMI under 25 would need to, to induce the positive changes associated with longevity....
An over-reaction when protein synthesis stalls can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders in mice. The link between quality control during protein synthesis in cells and neurological disorders has been made clear for the first time by RIKEN researchers. This discovery could help to develop new treat...
Elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is a principally modifiable cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; accordingly, recent European and US multisociety dyslipidaemia guidelines emphasise the importance of lowering LDL-C to reduce cardiovascular risk. This review provides perspectives...
In the new study, Holick and his colleagues assessedvitamin Dlevels in blood samples from 235 hospitalizedCOVID-19patients. The blood samples were also checked for an inflammatory marker calledC-reactive proteinand for the number of lymphocytes, a type of immune cell that helps fight infection. ...
8. Reduce sugar consumption There are several trials that showed that the ability of neutrophils (type of white blood cells) to engulf and ingest bacteria, fungi and other pathogens dropped almost 50% in blood samples of human volunteers after consumption of 100-gram doses of various simple ...
With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, a series of natural phenomena, such as global warming, are gradually recognized; when the ambient temperature increases to the extent that it causes heat stress in plants, agricultural production will in
these structures facilitate the cells' ability to navigate intricate extracellular environments, which contributes to their metastatic dissemination. Therefore, these proteins are emerging as potential targets for therapeutic interventions that are designed to reduce cancer metastasis by affecting cell motility ...
