CRP and cardiovascular disorder: Several studies have shown that adipose tissue inflammation promotes the hepatic production of C-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen, which stimulate the expression of adhesion molecules such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), creating a prothrombotic state, which gradually progresses to cardiovascular disease [11, 12, 20, 21].
