  Introduction: High sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a very sensitive marker of inflammation, which is synthesized in the liver and has been a widely used biomarker for risk stratifying in Cardio vascular disease (CVD). It is positively correlated with abdominal fat and closely correlated with increased risk of cardiovascular events and obesity had the predominant association with cytokine levels. Obesity induces systemic oxidative stress and causes dysregulation of adipo cytokines and development of metabolic syndrome. In our study, we investigated hsCRP levels in non-obese hypertensive subjects on treatment and its relationship with oxidative stress and lipid profile. Methods: Patients with secondary hypertension, past history of stroke, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and diabetes mellitus were excluded. Serum lipid prof.. View More»
