Nutritional Protocol for Inflammation

Nutritional Protocol For Inflammation When tissues are injured a specific reaction to the injury takes place. A collection of irritants and other chemical mediators are released into the injured area to aid in stabilization of the injured tissue, protection against further injury, and stimulation of healing at the injury site. These factors are referred to as the inflammatory cascade. And it includes substances such as histamine, bradykinin and prostaglandins, which aid in vasodilation to the …showed first 75 words of 1084 total…

Mediators of Inflammation(3) Complement system, eicosanoids, arachidonic acid metabolites, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes, bradykinin leading to vasodilation, histamine, serotonin, lymphokines, cytokines, macrophages, and exudates leading to edema and swelling. Conclusion There is no single substance capable of quelling inflammation. But, with an understanding of molecular mechanisms that mediate inflammation, we may be able to better prepare our bodies to withstand the assault of injury and chronic inflammation.
