Serotonina inibe inflamação sistêmica severa como a que ocorre na sepse
Conhecida como o “hormônio do bem-estar”, por ser relacionada à regulação do humor, a serotonina também é capaz de modular a inflamação sistêmica severa, como a que ocorre durante a sepse. Artigo publicado na revista Brain, Behavior, and Immunity descreve esse neurotransmissor, pela primeira vez, como um possível mediador da interação neuroimune, capaz de amenizar a inflamação não só no sistema nervoso central como em todo o organismo.
O estudo, conduzido por pesquisadores da FORP-USP (Faculdade de Odontologia de Ribeirão Preto da Universidade de São Paulo), da EERP-USP (Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto) e da FMRP-USP (Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto), mostrou que a administração da substância no sistema nervoso central de ratos teve efeitos anti-inflamatórios, diminuindo os níveis de moléculas sinalizadoras do sistema imune (citocinas pró-inflamatórias) no plasma sanguíneo e no baço dos animais. A serotonina preveniu ainda a hipotermia e a queda da pressão arterial. O trabalho é resultado de um Projeto Temático apoiado pela Fapesp.

By Dr. Mercola
Beets have been shown to fight inflammation, lower blood pressure1,2 and aid detoxification. Studies also suggest they can help lower your risk for heart failure and stroke, and provide powerful benefits for your brain, largely due to their high nitrate content.
