The rate of CRP generation, which reflected plasma levels of CRP, was discovered to have a substantial correlation with characteristics of metabolic syndrome (MetS) such as waist circumference, elevated triglyceride levels, low levels of high-density cholesterol, as well as indicators of inflammation and fat tissue biology such as increased levels of interleukin (IL-6) as well as decreased levels of adiponectin. This evidence concerns the gene ADIPOQ and metabolic syndrome.
