“> Working with mice and human immune cells, Dixit and colleagues focused on how macrophages -- specialized immune cells that produce inflammation -- respond when exposed to ketone bodies and whether that impacts the inflammasone complex.”

“A recent review and meta-analysis found that time-restricted eating reduces inflammatory markers and leptin. Researchers reviewed the findings of randomized-controlled trials investigating the effects of time-restricted eating on inflammation.”

“Inflammatory molecules and cytokines are able to have these sort of effects is because they are able to cross over the blood-brain-barrier and disrupt neurotransmitter production and release. Sulforaphane, which is high in broccoli sprouts, has been shown to lower biomarkers of inflammation including CRP and IL-6 by as much as 20% in humans.”

“FTA: > St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital study finds diet may influence susceptibility to autoinflammatory disease in at-risk individuals by favoring intestinal bacteria that fuel or dampen inflammation”

“FTA: > A new study offers compelling evidence that inflammation may be the link between vitamin D and prostate cancer. Specifically, the study shows that the gene GDF-15, known to be upregulated by vitamin D, is notably absent in samples of human prostate cancer driven by inflammation.”

“Obesity and related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension are strong independent risk factors for infection, severe disease, and death. Findings of a new report indicate that SARS-CoV-2 infiltrates adipose tissue, causing inflammation and worsening disease severity.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick examines hydrogen-rich water for inflammation, oxidative stress, lipids, and exercise recovery.

“Microglia became more active and removed more fragments of nearby neurons, particularly parts involved in sending activating signals, although their overall number did not change. The results suggest that inflammation makes microglia more active in trimming connections between nerve cells in the nucleus accumbens.”

“Impaired gut barrier function drives intestinal permeability (also known as “leaky gut”) – a condition in which gaps form between the cells that line the gut. Intestinal permeability allows pathogens to leak through the intestinal barrier and pass directly into the bloodstream, promoting inflammation.”

“Some of these effects may be due to compounds commonly associated with plastic manufacturing, such as bisphenol A, or BPA, phthalates, and heavy metals, that are present in and on microplastics. This study demonstrates that even brief exposure to plastic particles is sufficient to alter sex hormones and promote inflammation in female rats.”
