Objective To systematically assess the association of circulating inflammation markers with
the future risk of hypertension. Methods We did a systematic literature search of PubMed …

The acute phase–reactant high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a marker of vascular
inflammation and an atherosclerotic risk factor, is related to arterial stiffness in healthy …

RA associates with an increased burden of cardiovascular disease, which is at least partially
attributed to classical risk factors such as hypertension (HT) and dyslipidaemia. HT is highly …

Background: Almost half of the world's population uses coal and biomass fuels for domestic
energy. Limited evidence suggests that exposure to air pollutants from indoor biomass …

Signaling pathways induced by the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha
(TNF-α) play a key role in the cellular responses to inflammation and injury. In the …

Hypertension is a major global health challenge, as it represents the main risk factor for
stroke and cardiovascular disease. It is a multifactorial clinical condition characterized by …

High blood pressure (BP) is one of the main modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular
disease (CVD) and preventing it greatly reduces the vascular consequences of aging and …

Background and Purpose Inflammasomes are multimeric complexes that facilitate caspase‐
1‐mediated processing of the pro‐inflammatory cytokines IL‐1β and IL‐18. Clinical …

Activation of TLRs (Toll-like receptors) induces gene expression of proteins involved in the
immune system response. TLR4 has been implicated in the development and progression of …

Rationale: Microglial activation in autonomic brain regions is a hallmark of
neuroinflammation in neurogenic hypertension. Despite evidence that an impaired …
