Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship of the C-reactive protein (CRP) and metabolic syndrome.Methods The serum level of CRP was determined in 48 cases of obese children and 36 cases of healthy individuals.All children were 10 years old.The differences between the two groups and whether CRP was associated with metabolic syndrome were analyzed.Results The obese children had significant higher serum insulin,TG,TC,CRP,BMI,SBP and HOMA-IR [for respectively (16.1 ± 3.7) mU/L,(1.38 ± 0.29) mmol/L,(4.79 ± 0.88) mmol/L,(1.83 ± 0.89) mg/L,(28.7 ± 5.3) kg/m2,(129.4-11.3) mmHg,(3.81 ± 0.92)] than those of the normal controls [for respectively(10.4 ±2.8) mU/L,(0.75 ±0.12) mmol/L,(4.12 ± 0.65) mmol/L,(0.78 ± 0.22) mg/L,(22.4 ± 3.9)kg/m2,(117.2 ±8.9) mnHg,(2.37 ±0.78)] (t =7.727,12.260,3.846,6.912,6.012,5.349,7.568,all P ＜0.05).The results of correlation analysis showed that CRP had a positive correlation with serum insulin,TG,BMI,SBP and HOMA-IR (r=0.693,0.293,0.525,0.212,0.195,all P＜0.05),but not TC.Conclusion There are significant increases of serum CRP level in obese children,and the increased CRP was closely related with metabolic syndrome.
