Next Page: Treatment options [pagebreak] Implications for treatment Though the exact role
of inflammatory markers is yet to be determined, if your CRP test uncovers high levels
of CRP (defined by the American Heart
Association as over 3 mg / L), it is probably a sign that you should address your risk for cardiovascular disease, even if you have normal cholesterol.
Several trials have demonstrated that the cardiomyocytes
of rodents maintained on IER become more resilient to ischaemic injury induced by occlusion
of the left coronary artery 18, 21, 29, which translated into improved long - term survival following such injury in one study.21 In addition, within these studies,
associations have been found between the cardiovascular improvements and
markers of oxidative stress 24, 30,
inflammatory responses 18, 24, 29, 30 and increases in circulating levels
of adiponectin.29 Collectively, these reported changes in biochemical and physiological cardiovascular risk factors would be expected to suppress atherosclerotic development and preserve cardiovascular health.
Previous epidemiologic studies showed cross-sectional
associations of GI and GL with
inflammatory markers in individuals with (20) and without (21, 22) type 2 diabetes, suggesting that a high dietary GI may increase the risk
of inflammatory conditions.
Objective: We assessed the
association between consumption
of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (PHVOs) and non-HVOs and circulating concentrations
of inflammatory markers among Tehrani women aged 40 — 60 y.
Another proposed pathway
of the relationship between excessive sugar intake and increased CVD risk is its
association with inflammation
markers, which are key factors in the pathogenesis
of CVD.14, 50,51 Several recent studies52, 53 have indicated an
association between higher consumption
of sugar - sweetened beverages and
inflammatory markers.
