PERSISTENT LOW-GRADE INFLAMMATION, as indicated by higher circulating levels of inflammatory mediators such as C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-, is a strong risk factor for several chronic diseases. There are data indicating t

Over the past several years, medicine has started to recognise the fundamental role of inflammation in nearly every disease process. Researchers and physicians have been redefining heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and even diabetes and obesity as inflammator

TFA intake is positively associated with markers of systemic inflammation in women. Further investigation of the influences of TFAs on inflammation and of implications for coronary disease, diabetes, and other conditions is warranted.

From commodity ingredients such as vitamins C and E and dietary fibre to proprietary ones like LitoZin rose hip extract or Celadrin, the arsenal of natural products to address the many conditions with inflammation at their core will continue to expand. Co

Pro-inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines are produced from arachidonic acid, and omega-3s have been shown to inhibit arachidonic acid metabolism, hence less pro-inflammatory synthesis. Understand how to use fish oils to prevent chronic disease.
