“Researchers investigated quercetin's capacity to decrease CRP, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Analysis of six studies involving 348 participants revealed that quercetin reduced CRP in those over the age of 40 years, as well as those who had been diagnosed with a disease.”

Among those who took the vitamin C supplement, median CRP levels decreased by more than 25 percent compared to the placebo group. Furthermore, some studies have demonstrated that statins – a class of drugs used to lower blood lipids and decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease – can reduce CRP levels by as much as 17 percent.

“C-reactive protein, or CRP, one of several blood proteins often referred to as acute phase reactants, participates in the body's inflammatory cascade. Elevated CRP is associated with the development of atherosclerosis, loss of arterial compliance, and incidence of cardiovascular events.”

“The high-calorie diet didn't lead to weight gain or changes in body composition, reductions in insulin sensitivity, or even changes to inflammatory biomarkers like CRP and IL-6. However, over the course of just 5 days, liver fat increased by 63%.”

“Increased concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin(IL)-6 and C-reactive protein (CRP), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol contribute to endothelial dysfunction and the generation of atherosclerotic plaques.”

“The study also found that women who increased their strength by 10% or more reduced CRP by 31% compared with women who improved less. Increases in serum CRP levels in breast cancer survivors have been associated with poorer outcomes. For example, a one-unit increase in CRP levels is linked to a 21% increase all-cause mortality and an 18% increase in breast cancer-specific mortality.”

“While this particular study looked at CRP levels through the lens of breast cancer risk, elevated CRP is associated with several types of cancers as well as other chronic diseases.”

“They found that women with the highest levels of hs-CRP were 70% more likely to experience a cardiovascular event than those with the lowest levels. Similarly, those with the highest LDL and Lp(a) levels were 36% and 33% more likely, respectively, to have a heart attack or stroke.”

“Participants with greater visceral fat had 53 percent higher CRP, 30 percent higher TNF-alpha), 26 percent amyloid A, 17 percent higher white blood cell counts, and 42 percent higher IL-6, compared to participants with normal fat distribution.”
