Abstract:

Accumulating evidence indicates that obesity is associated with increased proinflammatory cytokines. The objective of this investigation was to determine Serum CRP in relation to lipid profile markers in obese or overweight women. Twenty one non-trained adult obese or overweight women aged 28-46 year was participated in this study by accessible samples. Fasting serum CRP, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), Low density lipoprotein (LDL) and High density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured in all subjects.  Pearson correlations methods were calculated to determine the relations of serum CRP with lipid profile markers. Fasting serum CRP was negatively correlated with HDL (p = 0.012, r = 0.54) and positively correlated with LDL (p= 0.035, r= 0.46) and no correlation with TG (p= 0.63, r= 0.112) and TC (p= 0.22, r= 0.137). These data suggest that CRP can be a precise marker of cardiovascular disorder in obese or overweight women.
