Attention has also been paid to the participation of CRP in the inflammation accompanying atherosclerosis, which is related to its effect activating the endothelial cells to express adhesion molecules (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 - ICAM-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1—VCAM-1, and E-selectin) [51,52,53,54]. Here, CRP is linked to atherosclerosis.
