The study found that a deficiency in gut bacteria can set the stage
for inflammation in the brain, thus aging the brain more rapidly and increasing the risk of dementia.
Their data suggest that the modulation
of inflammation in the brain by IVIg is a key event that leads to the reduction in amyloid deposition.
Dr. Vállez García and the team are now considering what to look at next, such
as inflammation in the brain or changes in the structure of other functional regions.
Your brain's immune system ends up working in overdrive to fight off these invaders and ends up creating
more inflammation in your brain to try to protect it.
Certain types of animal fats may
promote inflammation in the brain that can lead to mood disturbances, according to a study published in the February 2012 issue of «Nutrition Journal.»
These fatty acids may normally help
dampen inflammation in the brain and protect neurons from damage, and lower levels in the brain have been implicated in several mental illnesses.
Ketogenic diets — extreme low - carbohydrate, high - fat regimens that have long been known to benefit epilepsy and other neurological illnesses — may work by
lowering inflammation in the brain, according to new research by UC San Francisco scientists.
She said her «now 5 yr old daughter suffered from gluten ataxia from 3.5 yrs until 4.5 yrs — lost much of her hair, lost language / social skills, had serious balance issues, lethargy, severe bone / muscle pain, and
finally inflammation in her brain (detected by MRI).»
The study, published in the October edition of the journal Neurotherapeutics, found that the drug, AT2101, which has also been studied for Gaucher disease, improved motor function,
stopped inflammation in the brain and reduced levels of alpha - synuclein, a protein critically involved in Parkinson's.
Raghanti says that the researchers are now counting the neurons in the chimp brains they studied to determine whether the cells are lost with age, and
studying inflammation in the brains.
Infection with Bb led to many histopathologic findings in infected animals not treated with dexamethasone, such as leptomeningitis, vasculitis,
focal inflammation in the brain and spinal cord, and necrotizing focal neurodegeneration and demyelination in the cervical spinal cord.
«These findings question a long - held paradigm that myelin - specific T cells
initiate inflammation in the brain through activation of microglia and brain macrophages,» says Scott Zamvil, MD, PhD, a professor of neurology at the University of California, San Francisco and co-author on the paper.
In one study the researchers found that high fat feeding reorganizes the gut - to - brain neural pathway and triggers
inflammation in brain regions responsible for feeding behavior.
In a new study published in the Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology, Drs. Ewa Kozela, Ana Juknat, Neta Rimmerman and Zvi Vogel of Tel Aviv University's Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson Center for the Biology of Addictive Diseases and Sackler Faculty of Medicine demonstrate that some chemical compounds found in marijuana can help treat MS - like diseases in mice by
preventing inflammation in the brain and spinal cord.
Building on that work, the current paper looked at a less lethal strain, the H1N1 «swine flu,» that does not infect neurons, but which, the researchers showed, still caused
inflammation in the brain via inflammatory chemicals or cytokines released by immune cells involved in fighting the infection.
Neuroscientists are increasingly recognizing the role of the immune system and
inflammation in brain disease, notes James Koenig, a neurobiologist at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore.
The research suggests that butein and other natural compounds that
block inflammation in the brain should be vigorously investigated as novel anti-diabetic treatments, he says.
Using an antioxidant to
reverse inflammation in the brain caused by a high - fat diet greatly improves symptoms related to obesity and type II diabetes, a new study from New Zealand's University of Otago suggests.
For example,
inflammation in brain tissue caused by either genetic susceptibility or triggered by accumulating cellular proteins and external events, such as severe concussions, will leave the brain more open to injury.
This inflammation extends to other parts of the body and helps explain why gluten triggers so many disorders, including Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, joint pain, skin disorders (eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, etc.), fatigue, depression, or mood disorders
from inflammation in the brain.
