The Role of AMPK in Inflammation
October 13, 2021
Without a good definition of an anti-inflammatory diet, the result is continuing dietary confusion. Therefore, a necessary first step is to define inflammation. A good starting point would be to understand that inflammation is caused by an over-activation of the gene transcription factor, Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB). NF-κB is the genetic master switch in every cell in the body that turns on inflammation. Thus, you could correctly state that an anti-inflammatory diet decreases the activity of NF-κB.
