“They also found that e-cigarette vapor altered expression of genes involved in the cellular response to stress, infection, and inflammation. These findings demonstrate that commonly used substances present in e-cigarettes promote leaky gut and drive inflammation and provide insights into the long-term health effects of e-cigarettes.”

“CD4+ and CD8+ T cells exposed to the highest concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate (10 millimolar), comparable to the maximum circulating level in humans, produced more cytokines used to fight infection. Regulatory T cells, which prevent autoimmunity and excessive inflammation, also increased their activity, including the mitochondrial metabolism of ketones.”

“Mice with this form of liver inflammation typically have high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and exhibit distinct sickness behaviors. They fed the mice either a probiotic or a placebo and then they studied the animals' behavior.”

“A new study shows that chronic poor sleep increases immune cell numbers and promotes inflammation, but good, consistent sleep helps maintain a healthy balance of white blood cells and supports normal immune function.”

“(This isn't that surprising since there's also been a connection to depression established with markers of inflammation like CRP previously.)”

“Interestingly, participants in the high-inflammation group had higher body mass indexes, greater diabetes prevalence, and lower HDL ("good") cholesterol levels. These findings suggest that anthocyanins improve cognitive function among people with high inflammation.”

“Participants also provided blood samples for the assessment of inflammation and fecal samples for the characterization of the gut microbiome at numerous time points throughout the study.”

“Taken together, these findings indicate that pterostilbene exhibits immunosuppressive activity by directing T cell differentiation toward Treg cells rather than Th1 and Th17 cells. Furthermore, oral consumption of pterostilbene may reduce colonic inflammation associated with an inflammatory bowel disease.”

“These data are in line with a recent study in exceptionally old populations (from 90-110+ years old) that identified low inflammation was the only predictor of survival and cognitive function (aside from age itself). In my opinion, this implies that we should try and attempt to mitigate inflammation in order to live a long and healthy life.”

“Telomeres are often compared to the plastic tips on the end of shoelaces (aiglets) because telomeres protect chromosomes from fraying on the ends. Both acute and chronic stress increase inflammation, which can cause chromosomes to become frayed when telomeres are short.”
