CRP and coronary artery disorder: The greater atherogenicity of TRL/remnants appeared not to be explained fully by their higher cholesterol content (the risk per unit cholesterol was higher in TRL/remnants than in LDL) and this raised the question as to what other features of these particles might have pathogenic actions such as pro-inflammatory effects.22,23 Population studies have demonstrated links between plasma TG, chronic inflammation, and CHD; TG levels are related strongly to CRP and to blood leucocyte count.10,24 In contrast, LDL-C is not associated with either variable.
