C‐reactive protein, its role in inflammation, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and the effects of insulin‐sensitizing treatment with thiazolidinediones
Abstract
Increased concentrations of the marker of inflammation, C‐reactive protein (CRP), are associated with insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes and the development of cardiovascular disease. In particular, inflammation is closely associated with endothelial dysfunction and is recognized as one of the cardiovascular risk factors clustering in the Insulin Resistance Syndrome or Metabolic Syndrome. The exact mechanisms linking insulin resistance and inflammation remain unclear. However, the close association between insulin resistance and inflammation in atherogenesis suggests that therapies that address both parameters may have benefits in reducing diabetes‐related macrovascular complications. The thiazolidinedione class of oral anti‐diabetic agents are powerful insulin sensitizers that also have anti‐inflammatory properties. Treatment with these agents has a range of anti‐atherogenic effects, including reduced levels of CRP, plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1), TNF‐α and reactive oxygen species. Additionally, the insulin‐sensitizing effect of thiazolidinediones improves other factors of the Insulin Resistance Syndrome, including dyslipidaemia and hypertension. Outcome studies are underway to determine if the effects of improving insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation will translate into clinical benefits and reduce the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
