Interventions: Measuring and fighting chronic inflammation
As the science has evolved, measurements of chronic inflammation have proliferated - C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, IL-18, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) - being a few of them.
Springing from this research the nutra and pharma industries have proposed a host of targeted and sophisticated interventions that have moved on a long way from the staple of yesteryear - aspirin.
