In the present trial, the decrease of CRP in group [resveratrol-rich grape supplement] was correlated with decreases in TNF-alpha and PAI-1 values, which are also important markers in the onset of [cardiovascular] events,wrote the researchers.
This is consistent with the known regulation of CRP by many inflammatory signals such as TNF-alpha, which alters vascular endothelium homeostasis, impairs fibrinolytic status by increasing PAI-1 levels, and induces pl
