Abstract
The relationships between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, adipose tissue and metabolic alterations have not been clearly established in healthy non-obese subjects. We investigated the relationships between body fat, CRP levels and metabolic variables in healthy, non-obese sons of patients affected by metabolic syndrome (MS). Age, CRP and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels, anthropometric measures (body mass index, BMI; waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio, WHR), total and regional fat content (as determined by means of dual X-ray absorptiometry, DXA), total and LDL cholesterol, and the metabolic variables related to MS (HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose and insulin levels; the fasting insulin resistance index, FIRI; blood pressure) were evaluated in 85 healthy non-obese sons of MS patients. Linear and multiple regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationships between body fat, metabolic variables and CRP levels, and to investigate whether the association between body fat content and metabolic variables persists after adjustment for CRP levels. Body fat was associated with all of the investigated variables. CRP levels were associated with total and regional body fat, the anthropometric index of weight, age, and wi...Continue Reading
