Glossary Inflammatory Proteins

molecules that trigger and sustain the body's inflammatory response

Inflammatory proteins, also known as pro-inflammatory proteins, are molecules produced by the immune system that play a crucial role in initiating and sustaining inflammation. These proteins, such as cytokines and chemokines, help the body respond to infections and injuries by signaling immune cells to the affected area, but excessive or chronic production can lead to conditions like autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation.

Is the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in your diet feeding your hair problem without you knowing? Nutrition sources describe a lopsided omega-6 to omega-3 intake as pro-inflammatory, but no published human study shows that the dietary ratio changes 5-alpha reductase, scalp DHT or hair loss; the one relevant trial tested a commercial omega-3/6 plus antioxidant supplement in 120 women, not a change in dietary fat ratio.
