However, doctors can check for and monitor signs of inflammation through blood tests. “We monitor inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein and other biomarkers linked to ageing,” explains Philip. There are also things we can do at home. Home-testing kits, such asGlycanAge(get 15% ...
Speculating specific race-related genes to account for these differences, microarray gene expression profiling of peripheral blood leukocytes was undertaken in 119 healthy women (≥50 years old) from the MESA cohort; 48 women had high (>100) and 71 had low (<10) CAC scores. When 17 African ...
CA-125 is a protein found in the blood that is commonly used to detect and monitor ovarian cancer. High levels of CA-125 can also be seen in conditions like endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and pregnancy. While it is not a definitive diagnostic tool, it helps in assessing treatmen...

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that carry out effector functions against foreign particles that could cause an infection. They play an integral role in human adaptive immunity due to their antigen-specificity. Before lymphocytes are activated by their unique antigen stimulus, they ...
Elevated blood levels of inflammatory markers arecommonly foundin people with type 2 diabetes or the metabolic syndrome. These two conditions are commonly associated with obesity. In general, inflammatory mediators are higher in obese than normal weight persons. However, there is a substantial overlap...
Basophils levels in a blood test can provide important information about your health. Learn what the high or low counts could mean for your well-being.
A pro-inflammatory immune phenotype, characterized by innate and adaptive immune cell activation, increase of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, blood–brain barrier permeability and peripheral immune cell infiltration of the central nervous system has been identified as hallmark of PD. Immunomodulatory...
