[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 154912, member: 18023"] I think it's interesting that inflammation can make you less motivated. They fail to state what level of immune cytokines is low level inflammation or which immune cytokines that are taking about. That is typical in these articles, they say low level X is a problem, but never state what low levels actually are. [LIST] [*][B]Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)[/B] - One of the key mediators of the inflammatory response to physical stress. Higher levels are associated with anxiety, panic disorders, and cardiovascular risk. [/LIST] [URL="https://www.lifeextension.com/vitamins-supplements/itemlccyt/cytokine-panel-blood-test"]Cytokine Panel | Blood Test | Life Extension[/URL] So it would imply that too much physical exercise would result in this listless behavior, which we sort of intuit from experience that too much exercise is counter productive. One can test these immune cytokines as a group, (Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Interleukin-8 (IL-8), Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)) that is kind of expensive at one place I see $399.00. And what to about it once you get results. I doubt most of us will have problems with most of these, they are associated with cancers, and Hepatitis C, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Only Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is associated with stress. I also wonder if you test c-reactive protein, does a low hs c-reactive mean that elevated cytokines are unlikely? If HS-crp is 2.5, should you test cytokines? 2.5 is still considered a healthy level, but the lower the better for hs-crp. BTW, I think inflammation is very important but in general isn't a popular excel male topic. [/QUOTE]
