CRP and inflammatory bowel disease: A recent meta-analysis by Ajabnoor et al. (63) studying the long-term effects (more than 24 weeks) of increasing omega-3, omega-6, and total PUFA on IBD outcomes (including induced relapse or remission) and various markers of inflammation concluded that high intakes of long-chained n-3 fatty acids might reduce risk of IBD relapse, IBD worsening, and reduce the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which together with C-reactive protein is a biomarker for systemic inflammation and a non-specific indicator of IBD.
