EFFECT OF EXERCISE ON THE C- REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVEL IN OBESE INDIAN PATIENTS
Abstract
Obesity has been recognized as an epidemic worldwide due to changes in lifestyle, unhealthy food-habit
and lack of health knowledge among the population and linked to a large number of diseases. For
2 2. Asians, overweight is a BMI between 23 and 29.9 kg/m and obesity a BMI >30 kg/m Obesity is a state of excess adipose tissue
mass. Adipose tissue is an active endocrine and paracrine organ that releases a large number of cytokines and bioactive
mediators, eg TNF-
