scientists reported that a person's risk of a heart attack is doubled if he or she produces a particular version of FLAP, known more technically as 5-lipoxygenase activating protein. A troublesome variant of this protein boosts production of the inflammat
Accumulating evidence supports the hypothesis that chronic low-grade inflammation and activation of the innate immune system are closely involved in the pathogenesis of the type 2 diabetes.
One hundred and fifty years after Whitman sang "the body electric," we can find in Whitman's fate some clues to the nature of aging. For much of his adult life, he complained of chronic headaches, fevers, and weakness. At the age of 55, he suffered a stro
Scientists have known that macrophages also appear in adipose, or fat, tissue. But their role in the tissue was once thought to be inconsequential. Now, these immune cells appear to be rushing to dead fat cells to mop them up. These macrophages emit poten
Inflammation is a complex biological process in response to cellular perturbation or injury. It is manifest clinically as pain, heat (fever), redness, and loss of tissue function. It serves the important helpful role of initiating the elimination of tumor
This study suggests, but can't prove, that omega-3 fats reduce levels of inflammation. But it offers one more reason to eat seafood a few times a week without worrying that the soy oil in your salad dressing will cancel out the seafood's benefits.
Elevated levels of c-reactive protein (CRP) are known to be associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in adults. A substantial prevalence of hyperinsulinaemia and elevated CRP levels have been shown in Indian young adults.
Underlying the body’s healing response is a process by which tissues inflame. Chronic inflammation, if left unchecked, can devastate the body’s tissues, especially in the vascular and nervous systems. Numerous natural products help control the inflamm

Inflammation destroys HA, and HA, injected into joints, decreases inflammation. In addition, it appears inflammation may reduce a cells ability to produce HA.
