“After a two-week wash-out period, participants consumed the opposite treatment for three weeks. The researchers measured total antioxidant capacity and plasma concentrations of oxidized LDL cholesterol and C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation) before and after each treatment.”

“The diet-related inflammatory index has previously been shown to be highest with a Western-type diet, which is high in sugar intake, fried foods, high-fat dairy products, and refined grains. It has been shown to be associated with higher levels of inflammatory biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein and IL-6.”

“Study investigators measured ATP production in the participants' muscle and acylcarnitines, ceramides, and C-reactive protein (markers of mitochondrial health and inflammation) in the participants' blood.”

“Dr. Raison, as well as others, have found that inflammatory mediators such as IL-6 and C-Reactive protein (CRP) are higher in depressed individuals independent of other health factors like obesity and can independently predict the subsequent development of depression over a decade or more.”

“Moreover, inflammation can be clinically monitored by well-known biomarkers for systemic inflammation, making it amenable to potentially tracking therapeutic success: the risk of major depression has been shown to increase by 44% for each standard deviation increase in log c-reactive protein.”

“For example, immune cells release large quantities of reactive oxygen species, often incurring damage. To protect themselves from this damage, immune cells accumulate large quantities of vitamin C, which serves as an antioxidant within the cells. Immune cells also release interferons, a class of proteins that participate in antiviral activity.”

“Fish oil use was linked to lower blood levels of the proteins C-reactive protein (CRP) and cystatin C, and higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Statistical analyses suggested that these biomarkers together may help explain part of the association, with cystatin C accounting for 10%, CRP for 8.8%, and HDL-C for 7.5% of the link.”

“00:41:40 - Sulforaphane decreased the inflammatory biomarker CRP (C-reactive protein). Study. 00:42:05 - Sulforaphane lowered triglycerides and LDL and improved blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.”

“They found that the children who received the zinc supplements had lower serum alanine aminotransferase (a marker of liver damage) and C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation) than those who took the placebo. They also had higher HDL ("good") cholesterol.”

“The losses appeared to be related to sex-specific increases in blood leukocyte counts and inflammation, as evidenced by higher levels of C-reactive protein. These findings point to the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight throughout life as a strategy to reduce or prevent cognitive decline.”
