Relation of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, Interleukin-6, Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha, and Fibrinogen to Abdominal Adipose Tissue, Blood Pressure, and Cholesterol and Triglyceride Levels in Healthy Postmenopausal Women
The associations of inflammatory markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumor necrosis factor-α, and fibrinogen) with anthropometric and metabolic variables were examined in a sample of 112 postmenopausal women not receiving hormone therapy. Body fat distributio...

Summary: | The associations of inflammatory markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], interleukin-6 [IL-6], tumor necrosis factor-α, and fibrinogen) with anthropometric and metabolic variables were examined in a sample of 112 postmenopausal women not receiving hormone therapy. Body fat distribution was measured by computed tomography, and insulin sensitivity was determined by an euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. hs-CRP (0.10 ≤ r
2 ≤0.37) and IL-6 (0.06 ≤ r
2 ≤0.31) were significantly associated with anthropometric and metabolic variables, including visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and insulin sensitivity (p |
