«Results from our study suggest that although CSF
markers of inflammation are strong predictors, both plasma and CSF
markers of inflammation independently relay information about AD -
related pathology and neuronal damage in head - to - head comparisons,» Bettcher said.
However, whether
markers of inflammation in the blood (i.e., «peripheral»
inflammation) were
related to known measures
of AD -
related pathology, even after accounting for CSF levels
of inflammation (i.e., «central»
inflammation), remained unclear.
The scientists had expected
inflammation markers in the CSF to be more robust predictors
of AD -
related pathology and neuronal damage than those in the blood due to the «blood brain barrier.»
The research, published in PLOS ONE, found that several
markers of insulin resistance were increased following sustained exposure (6 - 8 weeks) to hypoxia at high altitude and that this change was
related to increased blood levels
of markers of inflammation and oxidative stress.
The findings were
related to serological
markers of inflammation, T - cell activation and CMV seropositivity.
Boswellia Extract: Clinical studies have shown boswellia to lower levels
of inflammatory
markers by modulating the production
of pro-inflammatory enzyme 5 - LOX, which is common in joint discomfort and other
inflammation -
related concerns.
The scientists concluded that «The mechanisms
of benefit
of the tomato - rich diet are not directly
related to inhibition
of markers of vascular
inflammation».
Although limited data are available that directly
relate the intake
of PHVOs to
inflammation, some investigators have reported a positive association between TFA intake and
markers of systemic
inflammation.
Some studies also found that it helped reduce
markers of oxidative stress and
inflammation,
related to the development
of cardiovascular disease 4, 19, 20.
Major dietary patterns are
related to plasma concentrations
of markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction
Depression,
inflammation, and the clustering
of metabolic risk
markers indicate abnormal functioning
of stress - sensitive systems.9 These 3 conditions also predict age -
related diseases.
First, low SES in childhood is a recognized risk factor for age -
related disease, such as cardiovascular disease.24 Childhood socioeconomic disadvantage predicts age -
related - disease risks, such as elevated
inflammation levels and the clustering
of metabolic risk
markers in adulthood.25 - 27 In contrast, the effect
of low childhood SES on later depression risk is debated.28 Second, retrospective investigations and some prospective studies have shown that childhood maltreatment could contribute to age -
related - disease risks.
These abnormalities tend to cluster in the same individuals.18, 19 Evidence shows that the clustering
of metabolic risk
markers in adulthood is associated with elevated risk
of developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia in later life.18, 20 Importantly, depression,
inflammation, and the clustering
of metabolic risk
markers frequently co-occur in the same individuals, and their co-occurrence is associated with the greatest disease risk.20, 21 To improve life quality in aging populations, it is critical to gain a better understanding
of the origins
of these 3 age -
related - disease risks.
Interventions targeting modifiable risk factors (eg, smoking, inactivity, and poor diet) in adult life have only limited efficacy in preventing age -
related disease.3, 4 Because
of the increasing recognition that preventable risk exposures in early life may contribute to pathophysiological processes leading to age -
related disease, 5,6 the science
of aging has turned to a life - course perspective.7, 8 Capitalizing on this perspective, this study tested the contribution
of adverse psychosocial experiences in childhood to 3 adult conditions that are known to predict age -
related diseases: depression,
inflammation, and the clustering
of metabolic risk
markers, hereinafter referred to as age -
related - disease risks.
Because previous research has shown that depression,
inflammation, and the clustering
of metabolic risk
markers have cumulative effects on clinical outcomes, 20,21 we summed these 3 age -
related - disease risks for each Dunedin Study member and found that 59.5 %
of study members had none
of the risks, 30.2 % had 1 risk, and 10.3 % had 2 or more risks.
