CRP and Obesity: In interventional studies examining adherence to a low glycaemic index diet pattern (Rouhani et al., 2016) or to a hypocaloric high glycaemic index diet pattern (Rouhani et al., 2016; Iannuzzi et al., 2009; Parillo et al., 2012) adequate adherence was associated with lower levels of CRP, both in males and females with obesity, while another study found no association (Damsgaard et al., 2013).
