“Short-term elevation of IL-6 is generally considered favorable, but chronic elevation is indicative of chronic inflammation. Interestingly, IL-6 also demonstrates anti-inflammatory properties because it switches on the activity of interleukin-10 (IL-10), a potent anti-inflammatory cytokine.”

“Specifically, a six-week course of an extract of Polygonum cuspidatum containing 40 milligrams of resveratrol decreased reactive oxygen species and suppressed the expression of JNK-1 and IKKβ, both of which are mediators of inflammation that reduce pro-inflammatory markers TNF-α and IL-6.”

“Identifying therapeutic strategies that inhibit IL-6 may benefit people who are vulnerable to the effects of psychosocial stress. Interestingly, hyperthermia, such as that experienced with sauna use or hot baths, has been shown to reduce IL-6 levels.”

“The investigators wanted to determine whether the effects of surgery and anesthesia on blood-brain barrier permeability and cognitive function were related to age and/or the action of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a proinflammatory molecule.”

“These findings suggest that microglia drive the low mood often associated with inflammation and that IL-6 is a prominent player in this process. Learn more about the role of inflammation and mood in this episode featuring Dr. Charles Raison.”

“Apple consumption decreased plasma C-reactive protein (a pro-inflammatory cytokine) by 17 percent, IL-6 by 12 percent, and endotoxin-binding protein by 20 percent compared with no apple consumption.”

“Higher cumulative social advantage was associated with slower epigenetic aging, especially GrimAge and DunedinPACE, and with lower IL-6. The authors did not find significant associations with urinary cortisol, cortisone, or catecholamines.”

“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.”

“This relationship was statistically significant and accounted for baseline stress reactivity, age, waist circumference, and sex. Participants who received 2.5 grams of omega-3s had a 19 percent reduction in cortisol levels and a 33 percent reduction in IL-6 compared to the placebo group.”

“NR and inflammation in humans An early NR clinical trial aimed at improving grip strength failed to find improvements in this primary outcome, however, secondary outcomes revealed that NR was strongly anti-inflammatory, lowering markers including IL‐6 and IL‐10.”
