TL;DR: The adoption of apo B and/or LDL-P as indicators of atherogenic particle numbers into CVD risk screening and treatment guidelines is supported because of its availability, scalability, standardization, and relatively low cost.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of plant sterols on C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), the prototypic marker of inflammation, and LDL cholesterol was investigated using a reduced-calorie (50 calories/240 mL) orange juice beverage.

TL;DR: It appears that both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are proinflammatory states and that these could contribute to increased diabetic vasculopathies.

TL;DR: The anti-atherogenic effects of alpha tocopherol on crucial cells in atherogenesis have been highlighted, such as the inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation, preservation of endothelial function, inhibition of monocyte-endothelial adhesion, inhibited of monocytes reactive oxygen species and cytokine release, and inhibition of platelet adhesion and aggregation.

TL;DR: The airways of premature infants are not sterile at birth and reduced diversity of the microbiome may be an important factor in the development of BPD and is not associated with differences in inflammatory mediators.
