Experimental studies suggest that CRP can induce activation of the complement system,11 bind to human neutrophils,12 be found in the endothelium of the blood vessels13 and can be probably involved in the secretion of cellular adhesion molecules that play an important role in the leukocyte adhesion and migration across the vascular wall—a very important step in the beginning of atherosclerosis.14 This evidence concerns the gene CRP and atherosclerosis.
