“Pro-inflammatory cytokines are increased in depression and contribute to the dysfunction of neurotransmission, hippocampal neurogenesis, and stress-related nervous system activation. Skeletal muscle cells secrete a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and IL-15.”

“The authors of the study conducted two experiments. In the first experiment, they pre-treated human hippocampal cells with either EPA or DHA and then exposed the cells to interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, and interferon-alpha – proteins that drive chronic inflammation.”

“Research indicates that Parkinson's disease patients have higher levels of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-alpha and IL-6. While these cytokines may not cause the disease, they may contribute to its progression.”

“Davidson reported that five minutes of daily Healthy Minds Program practice for 28 days produced a significant decrease in interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, measured three months after the formal intervention ended and compared with an untreated control group.”

“Myokines are molecules released from muscle cells that signal to non-muscle tissues that the body is physically active. Studies in non-human animals have shown that myokines such as oncostatin M, decorin,, and interleukin (IL)-6 suppress cancer growth; however research in humans is lacking.”

“For instance, combining magnesium and vitamin D achieved the greatest reduction in plasma levels of pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin 6 (IL-6).”

“The inflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) dropped more in the supplemented women, even though tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) decreased similarly in both groups. These results link the superior muscle adaptations to better control of oxidative stress and reduced inflammation.”

“Exercise lowers levels of inflammatory markers like IL-6 and TNF-α, reducing systemic inflammation. Balancing Hormones Linked to Cancer Risk: For estrogen-sensitive cancers (breast, ovarian), exercise lowers circulating estrogen levels, which may reduce risk and recurrence.”

“Inflammation: Alcohol causes inflammation by recruiting immune cells called monocytes and macrophages to the tumor microenvironment and increasing pro-inflammatory markers like TNF-alpha and the interleukins IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8.”

“Higher IL-6, an inflammatory marker, was linked to a higher rate of death, while stronger hand grip, unimpaired standing balance, unimpaired muscle strength, and better performance on a speed-based thinking test were linked to a lower rate of death.”
