Anti-inflammatory cytokines source

Finally/ there is evidence that Kupffer cells are a source of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) that may play an important protective role by minimizing formation of reactive nitrogen species when superoxide is released following MPT (24). Pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g./ macrophage migration inhibitory factor) may exacerbate hepatocellular necrosiS/ whereas chemokines (e.g./ monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) appear to reduce the extent of hepatotoxicity and facilitate eventual hepatocyte regeneration in surviving patients (13). 

Fish is the most important source of the n-3-PUFAs Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and populations consuming fish have lower heart rates. Other important parameters reported were lower blood pressure and higher HDL cholesterol. The strongest evidence for an effect of n-3-fatty acids on disease is the inverse relationship between diet, blood, and tissue levels and coronary heart disease. n-3-PUFAs prevent heart disease by preventing arrhythmias, generating prostanoids and leukotrienes with anti-inflammatory actions, and inhibiting synthesis of cytokines and mitogens that provoke inflammation and promote plaque formation. ... 

The mature peptide is derived from a pre-pro-form, which consists of 170 amino acids, being located between amino acid positions 125 to 152 within the prepro-form. Antigenic stimulation results in the early production of proinflammatory cytokines by activated macrophages, followed by the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors, including Aviptadil, from sources such as peptidergic innervations or the immune cells themselves. Aviptadil inhibits the production of the proinflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-12 and nitric ox-... 

Numerous mechanisms have been suggested for how n-3 PUFAs may improve inflammation and adipocyte function. N-3 PUFAs may decrease adiposity, adipocyte size and macrophage infiltration, enhance the production of anti-inflammatory adi-pokines and cytokines, and reduce the production of pro-inflammatory adipokines and cytokines (Calder et al., 2009). Research suggests that the ability of n-3 PUFAs to normalize the concentrations of the adipokines leptin and adiponectin may be related to the role of n-3 PUFAs in adiposity and insulin sensitivity. Lombardo et al. (2007) used 2-month-old male Wistar rats to investigate the effects of FAs on adipokines. The diets consisted of a starch-rich control diet and two sucrose-rich diets (to induce obesity) where corn oil or fish oil were the fat sources (8% by weight) the intervention period lasted for 2 months. Plasma leptin and adiponectin levels in rats...
