“Muscle function Poor muscle strength and mass are linked with many health conditions, including obesity, diabetes, and chronic inflammation. When mice consumed diets that induced deficient, normal, or high levels of vitamin D, deficient mice had poor strength and low muscle mass.”

“Inflammation is a driver of these changes such that the passage of small ions and solutes or even whole white blood cells may occur. Thus, the ability of BDNF to enter or exit the central nervous system varies, likely depending on a person's physiologic state and health.”

“•Improved immune function, reduced systemic inflammation, and improved metabolic health, as well as intratumoral changes in the form of enhanced blood perfusion, immunogenic profile, and immune cell infiltration.”

“In a study in which investigators used the Horvath clock to assess epigenetic age acceleration in people with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, a type of fatty liver disease characterized by liver inflammation and damage, the clock accurately predicted the chronological age of all the study subjects.”

“High levels of inflammation are common in the most severe cases of COVID-19. This inflammation can promote cytokine storm, an element of an overly aggressive immune response characterized by abnormally high blood concentrations of pro-inflammatory proteins called cytokines.”

“Garlic contains many organosulfur compounds that potently reduce inflammation in the endothelial cells that line the blood vessels. Garlic cooking tip: When garlic is chopped or crushed it activates (releases an enzyme) called alliinase which then forms an organosulfur compound called allicin.”

“These type of bacteria release endotoxin (also called LPS) and this stimulates a very strong immune response leading to uncontrolled inflammation. When mice were injected with LPS alone this caused an increase in the brain lesions.”

“DHA may benefit Parkinson's disease patients in other ways, such as increasing BDNF — a growth factor that promotes the growth of new neurons in the brain or decreasing inflammation.”

“Inflammation is critical in the body’s fight against cancer, but this defense weakens with age, and aspirin use may further weaken this response. The authors note that while their study design was strong, further research is needed to confirm their findings.”
