C-reactive protein (CRP) is an annular (ring-shaped) pentameric protein found in blood plasma, whose circulating concentrations rise in response to inflammation. It is an acute-phase protein of hepatic origin that increases following interleukin-6 secretion by macrophages and T cells .
Positive acute-phase proteins serve (as part of the innate immune system) different physiological functions within the immune system.Some act to destroy or inhibit growth of microbes, e.g., C-reactive protein, mannose-binding protein, [3] complement factors, ferritin, ceruloplasmin, serum amyloid A and haptoglobin.
JUPITER was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study investigating the use of rosuvastatin in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.The trial focused on patients with normal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels but increased levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP).
This heart-healthy oil has been found to lower markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6. When consumed in place of other fats, it may also lower the risk of ...

And a small 2023 study in Nutrients suggests that allulose is safe and does not increase blood glucose or C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation in the body.
Traditional risk factors for heart disease include obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Testing for Lp(a) and CRP can reveal less obvious risk factors.
