“More broadly, reaching a similar endpoint through distinct mechanisms could guide the development of more targeted drugs that further improve treatment success. In this clip, I discuss how EPA and DHA are converted into specialized molecules that resolve inflammation and support healing.”

“Since vitamin D plays an important role in regulating immune responses, lower circulating levels may further impair the body's ability to control inflammation. A greater inflammatory burden combined with less capacity to restrain it could therefore help explain why abdominal obesity and low vitamin D levels were associated with higher mortality.”

“My favorite probiotic is VSL#3. It has 10X the amount of live bugs than any other probiotic. It has over 25 published studies showing treats crohn's and IBD. It increases the the amount of lactate producing bacteria in gut by 25-fold, and lowers gut inflammation.”

“Telomere length in early life can be predictive of lifespan. Higher maternal oxidative stress and inflammation status due to increased obesity might generate a higher inflammatory and oxidative stress causing metabolic alterations that may act as mechanisms in fetal programming influencing telomere biology during development in the uterus.”

“A type of immune cell called macrophages were found to accumulate and produce pro-inflammatory cytokines near dead adipose cells in the fat tissue in breasts. This adipose tissue inflammation is significantly higher in obese women compared to lean women and may create a microenvironment that promotes tumor growth.”

“FTA: > During the periodontal care, the men received no treatment for their prostate conditions. But even without prostate treatment, 21 of the 27 men showed decreased levels of PSA. Those with the highest levels of inflammation benefited the most from the periodontal treatment. Six participants showed no changes.”

“The mTOR network is a highly conserved signaling pathway that serves as a "hub," integrating input from the cellular environment about nutrient, oxygen, and energy levels, ultimately driving fundamental cellular responses such as growth, proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammation.”

“An estimated 4.2 million deaths each year, many of which are cardiovascular disease-related, are associated with exposure to air pollution. The mechanisms that drive this association include systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, hypertension, and metabolic dysfunction.”

“This could help explain the links with lifestyle factors, since smoking and obesity tend to promote inflammation, while physical activity can help reduce it. However, it remains unclear whether lifestyle changes can actually preserve thymus function.”

“These findings suggest that nutritional ketosis maintains healthy metabolism and suppresses inflammation without altering metabolic flexibility. Other evidence demonstrates that a ketogenic diet promotes weight loss and reduces cancer risk.”
