“Injection with a specific probiotic strain of bacteria (called Mycobacterium vaccae) prevents inflammation in the brain caused by stress and reduces stress-induced anxiety behavior in mice.”

“This research was done by my colleagues and mentor, Dr. Bruce Ames, and showed that people eating terrible diets can improve their metabolism and decrease inflammation in just two months if they add micronutrients and fiber to their otherwise unhealthy diet.”

“From the article: > Markers of inflammation increased in the blood and muscle samples of the smoke-exposed group but improved significantly in the smoke-exposed exercise group after the research team introduced the treadmill tests.”

“Substances reaching the tissue beneath the lining could then further activate immune cells, reinforcing the inflammation. Because gut bacteria changed little overall, a broad disruption of the bacterial community is less likely to be the main explanation.”

“This was found in multiple studies including non-demented middle-aged adults, independent of their relationship to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Brain inflammation is thought to be a major mechanism leading to brain dysfunction.”

“FTA: > We have now discovered that activation of 5-HT(2A) receptors in primary aortic smooth muscle cells provides a previously unknown and extremely potent inhibition of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-mediated inflammation. [...] With the exception of a few natural toxins, no current drugs or small molecule therapeutics demonstrate a comparable potency for any physiological effect”

“These findings suggest that visceral fat and inflammatory processes are linked. The investigators posited that excess accumulation of visceral fat may increase the risk for cardiovascular disease by driving inflammation. View study abstract.”

“Compelling evidence suggests that the relationship between inflammation and depression is indeed causal – and LPS may play a role. In studies in which participants receive LPS injections, their circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (which are downstream of toll-like receptor activation), increase markedly.”

“A diet low in refined sugar improved fat and inflammation in the livers of boys with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. They reduced their fatty liver disease from 25% to 17% while the boys with their standard diet had a reduction from 21% to 20%.”

“FTA: > Emulsifiers, which are added to most processed foods to aid texture and extend shelf life, can alter the gut microbiota composition and localization to induce intestinal inflammation that promotes the development of inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic syndrome, new research shows.”
