The trial, called JUPITER and funded by AstraZeneca, enrolled nearly 18,000 subjects without heart disease who had LDL
cholesterol levels below 130 mg / dL and
elevated levels of the inflammatory marker C - reactive
protein.
MetS factors include increased abdominal fat, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, abnormal blood coagulation and
cholesterol levels as well as
elevated C - reactive
protein, an indicator of inflammation.
These symptoms include increased
protein levels in urine and correspondingly decreased blood
protein concentrations,
elevated cholesterol levels, and swelling.
Odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % CIs of the likelihood of
elevated C - reactive
protein concentrations (> 3.0 mg / L) from logistic regression using cross-sectional analyses in the Seasonal Variation of Blood
Cholesterol Study, Worcester, MA (1994 — 1998)
In the past 13 years, several other signs and symptoms have been associated with Syndrome X: low - density lipoprotein (LDL)

elevated C - reactive
protein (C - RP, a marker of inflammation), [1] low dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels, high cortisol levels, and sometimes androgen - dependent baldness.
In this study of 12 patients with
elevated LDL
cholesterol levels, a diet containing almonds and other nuts, plant sterols (also found in nuts), soy
protein, and soluble fiber (in high amounts in beans, oats, pears) reduced blood levels of all LDL fractions including small dense LDL (the type that most increases risk for cardiovascular disease) with near maximal reductions seen after only 2 weeks.
: Another good source of omega - 3s, shrimp are high in
protein and low in fat and calories, balancing their slightly
elevated cholesterol content.
But a
protein that carries
cholesterol in the blood, low density lipoprotein (LDL), has been associated with an
elevated risk of heart disease.
Diets that are successful in reducing body weight should also lower the level of bad LDL
cholesterol, as well as another dangerous factor called «C - reactive
protein» (CRP) which is regarded as even more important risk factor than
elevated cholesterol levels.
