The targeted therapeutic and nutritional intervention designed to directly suppress the biochemical cascade of pro-inflammatory messengers, such as cytokines and chemokines, at the cellular level. This is a precise approach to lowering the basal inflammatory tone that often interferes with optimal hormonal receptor function and metabolic health. Achieving signal reduction is key to mitigating cellular stress and improving overall endocrine responsiveness.
Origin
This term originates from molecular biology and immunology, specifically referencing the concept of cellular signaling pathways that govern the inflammatory response. ‘Reduction’ implies a focused effort to decrease the intensity or volume of these specific molecular communications.
Mechanism
Reduction involves utilizing compounds that directly interfere with inflammatory transcription factors, such as inhibiting the activation of NF-kappaB or modulating the activity of the COX and LOX enzyme pathways. This action prevents the cell from producing excessive inflammatory mediators in response to various stressors. By quieting these signals, cellular communication improves, allowing hormones to bind more effectively and metabolic processes to run more smoothly.
