Sustained low-level inflammation is a hallmark of the aging process. The accumulating damage persistently activates the innate immune system—the body's first line of defense—leading to what is known as inflammaging, functional decline and chronic diseases of old age.
Restoring an Amino Acid May Reduce Inflammation in Aging Population
Research indicates that restoring a specific amino acid can reduce age-related inflammation, a condition linked to chronic diseases and functional decline in the elderly. This finding is relevant for healthcare advancements in Iran, where an aging population faces similar health challenges. Addressing inflammation could improve the quality of life for older Iranians.
