Cardiologists have found a new way to assess a person's risk of atherosclerosis: they measure a substance in the blood called C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammatory activity.

How it is metabolized in the body dictates its inflammatory or anti-inflammatory activity.

In patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection active viral replication is usually associated with continuing inflammatory activity and progression of liver disease.

A mice study found that genipin was an active constituent in Gardenia that regulated inflammatory activity.

During active replication of hepatitis B virus, nearly all patients had pre-S2 expression on the plasma membrane, regardless of serum HBeAg or liver inflammatory activity.

There was a positive correlation between PEG absorption and the endoscopic and histological grading of inflammatory activity in the sigmoid colon (p<0.01-0.001).

In Crohn's disease intestinal permeability for 5 1 Cr-EDTA has been shown to parallel inflammatory activity measured using labelled leukocytes.

Therefore, the effect of PEN seems to be mediated by changes in the inflammatory activity.

The trials of atacicept in people with MS were suspended when some people taking the drug in one trial had an unexpected increase in inflammatory activity.

Sympathetic activity can also upregulate inflammatory activity [67-68].
