Influence of Elevated Levels of C‐Reactive Protein on Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cell Function

Abstract In vitro, C‐reactive protein (CRP) impairs endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) function; however, the influence of CRP on EPCs in vivo is unclear. We determined whether EPC function is impaired in adults with elevated plasma CRP concentrations, independent of other risk factors. EPCs were har...
