In this book, we have discussed the investigation of the association of serum leptin, BMI, biochemical, and most important inflammatory markers such as TNF- and IL-6 and CRP in CVD patients and compared with non-CVD subjects. We have also investigated the monomeric form of CRP in these subjects. The effect of leptin on the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF- and IL-6 and ob- RB were studied in vitro in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by adding hormone of different concentrations to the cultures. Our results suggest that leptin might stimulate inflammation by tr...
