Wine's Resveratrol May Help Battle Obesity - Science Daily, 6/16/08 -
"resveratrol inhibited the pre-fat cells from
increasing and prevented them from converting into mature fat cells. Also,
resveratrol hindered fat storage. Most interesting, according to Fischer-Posovszky,
was that resveratrol reduced production of certain cytokines (interleukins 6
and 8), substances that may be linked to the development of obesity-related
disorders, such as diabetes and clogged coronary arteries. Also, resveratrol
stimulated formation of a protein known to decrease the risk of heart
attack. Obesity decreases this substance, called adiponectin" - See

Curcumin Suppresses IgE-Mediated Allergic Response and Mast Cell Activation
- Medscape, 6/3/08 - "Two cytokines, TNF-alpha and
IL-4, are among those that are critical to allergic inflammation. In studies
using the RBL-2H3 tumor mast cell line, the researchers found that curcumin
significantly inhibited the antigen-stimulated expression of mRNA for both
cytokines, and the secretion of both cytokines in the mast cells, in a
dose-dependent manner" - See

Link
Between Inflammation, Cancer Confirmed - Science Daily, 6/2/08 -
"Chronic inflammation of the intestine or stomach
can damage DNA, increasing the risk of cancer ... Researchers have long
known that inflammation produces cytokines (immune response chemicals that
encourage cell proliferation and suppress cell death), which can lead to
cancer"

Depression
Associated With Low Bone Mineral Density - Medscape, 12/3/07 -
"The novelty of this study is the fact that these
women were not severely depressed ... Depression is considered a disease of
chronic stress, Dr. Cizza said, with attendant increases in the stress
hormone cortisol, and cytokines produced by the immune system. "Those
substances are helpful to fight stress, but if there is too much cortisol or
cytokines, there are side effects," he said. "One of the side effects is
bone loss, so it was obvious to ask the question, 'do women with depression
have low bone mass?'""

Exercise May Play Role In Reducing Inflammation In Damaged Skin Tissue -
Science Daily, 11/28/07 - "moderate exercise sped up
how fast wounds heal in old mice ... the improved healing response “may be
the result of an exercise-induced anti-inflammatory response in the wound.”
... Cytokines are molecules that signal and direct immune cells, such as
macrophages, to the site of an infection ..."

Inflammation Plays Role in Alzheimer's Disease - Doctor's Guide, 5/29/07
- "The participants' blood was
tested for levels of cytokines, which are protein messengers that trigger
inflammation. Those with the highest amount of cytokines in their blood were
more than twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's disease as those with the
lowest amount of cytokines"

Cytokines Play Role in Sleep Disorders, Obesity - Clinical Psychiatry
News, 10/06 - "Interventions to
reduce or neutralize proinflammatory cytokines may be novel treatments in
patients with sleep disorders and obesity ... Three inflammation-associated
cytokines—tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α, interleukin-1 (IL-1), and IL-6—are
elevated in obese and sleep-deprived patients, and may mediate excessive
daytime sleepiness and fatigue"
