Inflammatory Signaling

Meaning

Inflammatory Signaling refers to the complex cascade of molecular communication pathways initiated by the immune system in response to tissue injury, infection, or chronic stress. This signaling involves the rapid release and interaction of various mediators, such as cytokines, chemokines, and prostaglandins, which orchestrate the body’s protective response. Chronic, low-grade inflammatory signaling, often linked to visceral adiposity and endocrine disruption, can contribute to insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and accelerated aging. Modulating these pathways is a critical strategy in preventative and restorative hormonal health.
