Purpose: In the recent years, the relationship between inflammation and atherosclerosis induced, which is a chronic inflammatory disease, acute coronary syndromes, including unstable angina and acute myocard infarction, has gained importance. Acute phase reactants, as...

Hepcidin, a recently discovered peptide hormone, is the homeostatic regulator of intestinal iron absorption, iron recycling by macrophages and iron mobilization from hepatic stores. Hepcidin inhibits the cellular efflux of iron by binding to and inducing the degradation of ferroportin. Hepcidin...

Background: NAMPT/visfatin increases inflammation and its serum levels are affected in chronic lowgrade inflammation such as autoimmune disorders, and thyroid cancers.

Aim: We aimed showing how NAMPT/visfatin levels are affected in Hashimotos...

Aim: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease and its etiology hasnt been fully elucidated. However, excessive amounts of reactive oxygen derivatives have been detected in the synovial fluids of patients with RA. Therefore, systemic inflammation and oxidative...

Objective: For this current study, our aims were to investigate the relationships between HbA1c with neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) which are accepted as new markers of systemic inflammation and the relationships between HbA1c with CRP...

Objective: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading causes of death worldwide. After understanding the importance of inflammation in the pathogenesis, CRP usage has been increased for the determination of cardiovascular risk. As an inflammation marker, the relationship...

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the possible effects of chronic smoking on serum vitamin D and some inflammation markers.

Materials and Methods: The smoking history of a total of 110 volunteer adults, 76 females and 34 males, for whom 25...

Objective: Ankylosing spondilitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving primarily the skeletal system, the peripheral joints and extra-articular structures. C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) are commonly used assays for measuring...

Objective: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) and ma ny other tumor markers are suggested to be useful for the biologic activity of the prostate cancer. The aim of our study is to investigate possible relationship between inflammatory markers (high sensitive C-Reactive Protein...

Aim: Smoking is accepted as a risk factor for primary chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and respiratory system diseases and for cancer development. The aim of this study was to indicate the increase in inflammation in smokers by using high-sensitivity...

Purpose: End-stage renal disease; is a disease characterized by loss of renal function where inflammation is involved in its pathogenesis. Adiponectin is an anti-inflammatory protein secreted from the adipose tissue. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are vascular adhesion molecules that...

Purpose: Nitric oxide(NO) is one of the important substances that are synthesized to keep the blood vessels dilated enough to provide adequate flow and to maintain cerebrovascular homeostasis. Creactive protein(CRP) is a highly sensitive indicator of inflammation and tissue...

Trombomodulin (TM) is a 557 amino acid a glycosylated transmembrane protein and is a thrombin receptor located on endothelial cell surface. It was named as thrombomodulin due to its modulator role on the functions of thrombin. While a part of TMÕs physiological functions are through the activity...

Objective: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Platelet (PLT) activation and thrombosis have important roles in the process of atherosclerosis that is one of the most important cause of acute ischaemic...

Aim: Valproic acid is a commonly used therapeutic agent in childhood epilepsies. Monitoring toxic doses of valproic acid is important due to serious adverse effects such as hepatotoxicity and encephalopathy. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between...

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of hypeglycemic peak induced by OGTT on the basal inflammatory state by exploring the serum CRP level diffferencesMaterial and

Methods: I24 patients for suspicous of diabetes who have applied...

Objective: It has been demonstrated that oxidative stress induced tissue damage plays a role in the pathogenesis of several otolaryngological diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the selenium (Se), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) levels in the plasma of children...

Aim: We aimed to reveal the potential roles of periostin, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in inflammation, hypoxia, and tissue damage in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to investigate whether they are useful potential...

Objective: The increase in serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels is a marker of severe systemic inflammation due to bacterial infection and renal excretion plays an important role in its elimination. The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the relationship between...

Objective: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy specific form of hypertension and a multisystem disorder of maternal and placental origin. Pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) is a insulin like growth factor binding protein 4- degrading metalloproteinase. The aim of this...

Objective: It is well known that chronic inflammation is an important factor of the process which leads to atherosclerosis. While leading to atherosclerosis inflammation can cause acute phase response as well. CRP, serologic indicator of inflamation, synthesized in liver, is...

Galectin-3 is a multifunctional protein that plays a critical role in inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis. It is considered a biomarker and therapeutic target in cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as pulmonary, hepatic, and renal fibrosis. Additionally, it is associated with...

Objective: Obesity is the leading public health problem in this century. In this study we aimed to evaluate the hsCRP levels which are the indicators of inflammation in obese people (defined with BMI) and assess the relation between obesity and hsCRP.
