Cytokines are inflammatory markers triggering inflammation in common conditions. The following research investigated if curcumin would have a significant impact on reducing important cytokines (Panahi Y, et.al., 2016). The study was an analysis of a randomized controlled trial in which males and females diagnosed with the metabolic syndrome were given...

  High-intensity exercise can produce muscle damage. The resulting breakdown of muscle fibers and the triggered inflammatory responses could also affect exercise performance. The researchers of the following study evaluated the effectiveness of curcumin supplementation on exercise induced muscle damage and inflammatory and oxidative markers in physically active individuals (Fernández-Lázaro...

  The participants of this research included 1002 healthy adults aged 18-65 years (Mazidi M, et al., 2021). The after-meal effect at multiple intervals was measured for glucose, triglycerides, IL-6, and GlycA. IL-6 and GlycA are inflammatory cytokines. The meals the participants ingested were mixed-nutrient meals. The after-meal effect between...

  Working memory which is the ability to keep goal-relevant information in mind is an important part of memory, especially if you are going to accomplish your goals. This research investigated the reason for this type of memory loss in 11,546 obese people with an age range of 25-34 years...
