Anti-Inflammatory State

Meaning

A physiological condition characterized by the dominance of regulatory and resolving immune processes over pro-inflammatory signaling cascades, resulting in a net reduction of systemic inflammatory biomarkers. This state reflects robust immune homeostasis where the production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-10 and TGF-beta, actively suppresses the activity of pro-inflammatory mediators like TNF-alpha and IL-6. Clinically, maintaining this balance is crucial for mitigating chronic disease risk and promoting cellular longevity.
