C-reactive protein (CRP) is considered a marker of inflammation, which is a risk factor for many chronic diseases. However, determinants of CRP remain unclear and were studied in a strictly defined cohort of healthy premenopausal women (n=233) using multiple regression models. Independent predictors of serum CRP (model R(2)=0.59) were percentage body fat, serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), sex hormone-binding globulin and white blood cell count. The close association between CRP and ALP suggests that enzymatic activity of ALP may be important for the anti-inflammatory effects of CRP, which should be confirmed with additional studies.
C-反应蛋白(CRP)被认为是炎症的标志物,而炎症是许多慢性疾病的危险因素。然而,CRP 的决定因素尚不清楚,本研究在一个严格定义的健康绝经前妇女队列(n=233)中使用多元回归模型进行了研究。血清 CRP 的独立预测因子(模型 R²=0.59)为体脂百分比、血清碱性磷酸酶(ALP)、性激素结合球蛋白和白细胞计数。CRP 与 ALP 密切相关,提示 ALP 的酶活性可能对 CRP 的抗炎作用很重要,这需要进一步的研究来证实。
