Potential therapeutic impact of omega-3 atty acids on inflammation in muscular dystrophy
“Supplementation with ω-3 long chain-PUFA 2.9 g/day is well-tolerated, has a beneficial reductive effect on proinflammatory markers, and increases an anti-inflammatory marker, indicating that ω-3 long chain-PUFA could have a potential […]
Scientists crack code of chronic fatigue syndrome’s inflammatory underpinnings
“A new study led by Stanford chronic fatigue syndrome expert Jose Montoya, MD, and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has linked chronic fatigue syndrome to variations in […]
Study: Omega-3 fatty acids fight inflammation via cannabinoids
“A new study in animal tissue reveals the cascade of chemical reactions that convert omega-3 fatty acids into cannabinoids that have anti-inflammatory benefits — but without the psychotropic high.”
More evidence shows natural plant compound may reduce mental effects of aging
“Salk scientists have found further evidence that a natural compound in strawberries reduces cognitive deficits and inflammation associated with aging in mice. The work, which appeared in the Journals of […]
How babies’ environments lead to poor health later
“research suggests that altering aspects of the nutritional, microbial and psychosocial environment early in development can leave lasting marks on the epigenome, with the potential to reduce levels of chronic […]
Gut Microbiota Mediates the Protective Effects of Dietary Capsaicin
“The researchers uncovered an interaction between dietary capsaicin (CAP), the major pungent component in red chili, and gut microbiota. This novel mechanism for the anti-obesity effect of CAP acts through […]
Gut microbes contribute to age-associated inflammation (mouse study)
“gut microbes are one of the culprits behind age-associated inflammation and premature death in mice. Imbalances in the composition of gut microbes in older mice cause the intestines to become […]
Biologists control gut inflammation by altering resident bacteria
“The fact that we could alleviate inflammation by adding back a single key bacterial strain, suggests that it could be useful as a probiotic for inflammatory diseases,” said Rolig, who, […]
How red berries reduce inflammation
“Cyanidin, a key flavonoid that is present in red berries and other fruits, attenuates the development of several diseases, including asthma, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cancer, through its anti-inflammatory effects.”
