What is really scary is this chronic inflammation can occur inside the body and you won’t even know that you are at risk. The immune system shuts down and there are inflamed proteins that create mutations that lead to these diseases because these abnormal cells create the perfect condition fo...
Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-made antibodies that act like your body’s natural antibodies. They are engineered for specific purposes. Cancer-fighting monoclonal antibodies go after cancer cells. For autoimmune diseases, monoclonal antibodies can interfere with inflammatory proteins, such as those t...
What Foods are Inflammatory? Any heavily processed food is likely to cause inflammation. Refined foods, such as cookies, white bread, or candy, increase blood sugar levels and lead to bacterial overgrowth in the digestive system – which leads to inflammation. Saturated and trans fats release pro...
Pro-inflammatory effects are a phenomenon in which a reaction causes the body's inflammation process to be altered or exaggerated...
In general, the following events occur during an inflammatory response: (1) vascular changes: blood flow increases and fluid and plasma proteins leak into the inflamed tissue; (2) cellular infiltration: leukocytes adhere to vascular endothelium and migrate through the endothelial layer to gain access...
Metagenomic systems biology of the human gut microbiome reveals topological shifts associated with obesity and inflammatory bowel disease The human microbiome plays a key role in a wide range of host-related processes and has a profound effect on human health. Comparative analyses of the huma... S...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease with relapse and remission periods. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are two major forms of the disease. IBD imposes a lot of sufferings on the patient and has many consequences; however, the most important is the increased...
The way the immune system sends messages to the skin is by releasing small proteins (cytokines) that causes changes to the skin cells. Some of these small proteins that cause plaque psoriasis are called interleukin-12, interleukin-17, interleukin-22, interleukin-23, Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)...
Studies havefoundthat in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, serum concentrations of collagen are decreased. Supplementing with collagen peptides may help treat gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammation, including leaky gut syndrome, IBS, acid reflux, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. ...
IgG1, IgG2 and IgG3 are all capable of causing inflammation which could contribute to symptoms. IgG4 antibodies are only present in low levels and its presence does not relate directly to inflammatory reactions. Therefore, testing only for IgG4 antibodies in foods severely limits the accuracy of...
