Anti-Inflammatory Pathways

Meaning

Anti-Inflammatory Pathways are the sophisticated, interconnected biochemical cascades within the human body responsible for actively resolving acute inflammation and restoring tissue homeostasis. These pathways involve the production and action of specialized pro-resolving mediators and the systematic down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Effective anti-inflammatory function is essential for mitigating chronic disease risk and maintaining optimal endocrine and cellular health. Clinical practice often seeks to support these intrinsic mechanisms to reduce systemic inflammatory load.
