“Participants with greater visceral fat had 53 percent higher CRP, 30 percent higher TNF-alpha), 26 percent amyloid A, 17 percent higher white blood cell counts, and 42 percent higher IL-6, compared to participants with normal fat distribution.”

“Research indicates that Parkinson's disease patients have higher levels of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-alpha and IL-6. While these cytokines may not cause the disease, they may contribute to its progression.”

“They found that flavonoid supplementation improved markers of liver function (liver enzymes) and reduced blood lipids (triglycerides and cholesterol), inflammatory markers (TNF-alpha and NF-kappa B), and fat accumulation in the liver, suggesting that flavonoid supplementation is a viable option for managing and treating NAFLD.”

“They found that the participants' Omega-3 Indices increased from 3.9 to 4.8, roughly 23 percent relative to baseline when they took supplemental omega-3s. Markers of cardiac injury (troponin and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB) and the inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha decreased.”

“Participants also provided blood and saliva samples as a means to measure cortisol (a stress hormone), telomerase (an enzyme that helps maintain telomere length); anti-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-10 (IL-10); and pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).”

“They found that time-restricted eating reduced participants' pro-inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, TNF-alpha, and interleukin-6) and increased levels of adiponectin, a protein produced by adipose tissue that regulates glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown in the body.”

“Other studies have proposed mechanisms by which omega-3s exert their beneficial effects. For example, one study found that DHA inhibits osteoclast formation and subsequent bone resorption by inhibiting the production of TNF-alpha, a pro-inflammatory molecule.”

“Preclinical studies suggest they can reduce chronic microglial activation, a form of brain immune overactivity that may disrupt memory formation, and reduce levels of pro-inflammatory molecules like TNF-alpha. These changes may improve memory consolidation in the hippocampus.”

“The participants provided blood samples before and multiple times after consuming the meals. The blood samples revealed that consumption of the meal containing the 6-gram spice blend reduced levels of pro-inflammatory proteins IL-1 beta, IL-8, and TNF-alpha.”

“For instance, combining magnesium and vitamin D achieved the greatest reduction in plasma levels of pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin 6 (IL-6).”
