“Researchers also measured changes in brain electrical activity, linking mental training with an observable immune response in this small trial. Dr. Davidson also discusses newer app-based research examining IL-6, a marker of inflammation, and microbial pathways related to butyrate.”

“Eating a typical Western diet – high in processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages – raises blood glucose and insulin levels, promotes inflammation, and contributes to many neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease.”

“Inflammation provides another possible brain pathway. Dr. Patrick explains that circulating cytokines can affect the brain, alter tryptophan metabolism, and contribute to the foggy cognition and low mood associated with an activated immune response.”

“The original marker-development paper proposed values of at least 8 percent and at most 4 percent as higher- and lower-status categories associated with different coronary mortality risks. She also describes how EPA and DHA participate in cell membranes and pathways that help resolve inflammation.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Diary Of A CEO, she discusses curcumin, urolithin A, and glutamine as supplements with distinct roles in inflammation, mitochondrial health, and immune metabolism.”

“Ketones provide benefits that extend beyond the brain, however. For example, beta-hydroxybutyrate, an endogenous ketone, may reduce inflammation, increase lifespan, and suppress tumor formation. Learn more about beta-hydroxybutyrate in our overview article.”

“Inflammation causes pericytes to release pro-inflammatory cytokines, compromising the barrier and facilitating neurodegeneration. Learn more about links between inflammation, pericytes, and cognitive decline in this clip featuring Dr. Axel Montagne.”

“Evidence from animal studies suggests that stimulating the vagal nerve reduces the release of proinflammatory cytokines that drive acute inflammation. Using a mild electrical current, the investigators stimulated the vagus nerve of mice.”

“Participants provided blood samples at multiple points throughout the study. Finally, the investigators isolated monocytes from the participants’ blood and exposed the cells to bacterial endotoxin in order to promote inflammation.”

“The risk of major depression has been shown to increase by 44% for each standard deviation increase in log c-reactive protein (inflammatory biomarker). Inflammation is caused by a variety of factors including emotional/social stress, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, and more.”
