Notably, across the studies high dietary intake of vegetables and/or fruits was associated with lower levels of CRP (González-Gil et al., 2016; Qureshi et al., 2009; Hagin et al., 2017) and IL-6 (Holt et al., 2009; Cabral et al., 2018) (both in healthy males and females), TNF-α (Arouca et al., 2018) (only in healthy females), and IL-17F (Han et al., 2015) (both male and female patients with asthma). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is asthma.
