“They found that across the six studies, markers of glucose metabolism (fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and insulin resistance), lipid metabolism (triglycerides and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), and inflammation (C-reactive protein) were lower among women who took omega-3s than those who took a placebo.”

“These findings were consistent even after considering other risk factors, including age, body mass index, cholesterol levels, smoking status, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, physical activity, socioeconomic status, and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation).”

“Levels of inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and fibrinogen – a protein that participates in clot formation – were lower among those with higher magnesium intake. Magnesium is an essential mineral and a cofactor for hundreds of the body's enzymes.”

“Lifestyle behaviors may reduce inflammation and the need for NSAIDs. For example, sauna use reduces levels of pro-inflammatory C-reactive protein and increases levels of anti-inflammatory protein interleukin (IL)-10.”

“The research involved more than 2,300 young adults (aged 24 to 58) enrolled in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study. Researchers tracked the participants' inflammation levels, measured by C-reactive protein (CRP), for about 18 years.”

“Participants following the green Mediterranean diet showed the greatest preservation of brain volume, particularly in the hippocampus. They also experienced improvements in HbA1c (a marker of long-term blood glucose control), insulin resistance, fasting glucose, and C-reactive protein.”

“Sauna did not significantly change the duration or severity of colds that occurred. Repeated sauna use has also been associated with lower resting levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and circulating leukocytes.”

“Apple consumption decreased plasma C-reactive protein (a pro-inflammatory cytokine) by 17 percent, IL-6 by 12 percent, and endotoxin-binding protein by 20 percent compared with no apple consumption.”

“A type characterized by systemic inflammation, reflected in such laboratory results as a high hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), low albumin:globulin ratio, and high cytokine levels such as interleukin-1 and interleukin-6.”

“During flares, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and C-reactive protein (CRP), are often elevated. IL-1 beta is a proinflammatory cytokine that mediates the body’s inflammatory response. CRP is a protein that increases in the blood with inflammation and infection.”
