Research indicates that people who get less sleep — six or fewer hours a night — have higher blood
levels of inflammatory proteins than those who get more.
Understanding what sets regulatory mechanisms
of inflammatory proteins in motion can help develop in treating people having chronic inflammatory illnesses, including those with autoimmune diseases.
A 2010 study in The Journal of Nutrition found that eating whole grains lowered levels
of inflammatory proteins such as C - reactive protein, which becomes elevated as a response to inflammation in the body.
Inflammation is a known feature of heart failure, and it is associated with high levels
of inflammatory proteins called cytokines — including one called tumor necrosis factor alpha or TNF - a — that ramp up immune cell responses.
By analyzing the DNA of zinc - deficient mice with sepsis, the researchers identified a critical immune system pathway that relies on zinc to stop
overproduction of an inflammatory protein that if left unchecked, can start to destroy healthy cells.
«We indeed observed that in the trained subjects the
release of inflammatory proteins was attenuated and that they experienced far less flu - like symptoms,» says Kox.
«We found that fat cells from obese or morbidly obese patients secreted a high
amount of inflammatory proteins, which contributed to tumor progression,» DeCicco - Skinner said.
Researchers found that patients with a higher amount or higher
proportion of an inflammatory protein called type 1 interferon beta compared with another inflammatory protein, type 1 interferon alpha, do not respond as well to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors as others.
Now, researchers funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging Bioengineerng have developed a system to capture and identify a scarce blood peptide (a
fragment of an inflammatory protein) called P1 that can predict increased risk of preterm birth.
Cod - based protein diet healthier than meat based protein diet A diet that is rich in cod - protein lowers the concentration
of the inflammatory protein C - reactive protein or CRP.
Australian researchers have used models to identify a potential link between excess
production of inflammatory proteins that cause rheumatoid arthritis and the development of heart valve disease.
They found significantly increased levels
of inflammatory proteins in overweight and obese donors — with the levels of these proteins correlating with the BMI of the donors.
A rat model of Parkinson's disease displays increased
levels of an inflammatory protein in the colon, identifying a possible new biomarker for the disease (Doris J. M. Doudet, abstract 133.13, see attached summary).
Researchers have found that people with inflammatory bowel disease are more likely to have low levels of vitamin D. [3] In inflammatory bowel disease, vitamin D may help the immune system to reduce
overproduction of inflammatory proteins.
Although there is some debate, research suggests that
some of these inflammatory proteins may affect the integrity of the blood - brain barrier.
The team, led by Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researcher Dr Philippe Bouillet, Dr Derek Lacey and colleagues, identified critical regions of the DNA that control production
of the inflammatory protein, called TNF (tumour necrosis factor).
He also found that participants with higher levels
of inflammatory proteins in their cerebrospinal fluid showed modestly greater memory loss and brain atrophy over two years.
«Without zinc present in sufficient quantities, the JAK - STAT pathway keeps giving the genes the «on» signal, and continues production
of this inflammatory protein,» said Knoell.
Scientists at the University of Illinois, Urbana — Champaign discovered that intense running can increase the risk of illness and that extended intense workouts escalate the levels
of some inflammatory proteins that can allow a development of some viruses.
Refined grains can hurt: People who ate the most refined grains had the highest levels
of an inflammatory protein in the blood, revealed a study published in The Journal of Nutrition.
A study published in 2013 in the journal Gut Microbes found that taking a particular microbe could reduce a person's level
of inflammatory proteins (called cytokines).
The former smokers who took the vitamin E supplement also had lower levels
of inflammatory proteins that are linked to heart disease, which suggests the vitamin E may help smokers» bodies to return to a healthy state sooner, and even potentially reverse some of the damage smoking caused.
The deranged biochemistry and tissue injury associated with these conditions stimulates ongoing production
of inflammatory proteins and cytokines, chemical messengers that initiate and prolong the inflammatory response, creating a vicious cycle of chronic inflammation that may have devastating effects on patient quality of life.
Researchers identify brain inflammation by quantifying levels
of inflammatory proteins, such as C - reactive protein.
Prolonged soaking, extended cooking, rinsing, sprouting, and fermenting have been shown to partly break down some of the phytates and
some of the inflammatory proteins in certain grains.
This leads to high levels
of inflammatory proteins, or immunoglobulins, in plasma.
