CRP levels are influenced by lifestyle and dietary modifications

Abstract

C - reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory biomarker, is influenced by many factors including socio economic position, genetics and diet. The inverse association between diet and CRP is biologically feasible because micronutrients with antioxidative properties may
enable the body to manage the balance between production and accumulation of reactive species that cause oxidative stress. It is primarily produced by the liver in response to inflammation, often in response to the release of inflammatory molecules like interleukin-6 (IL-6). According to a study, high protein diet may cause excessive elevation of C- reactive protein.
