…mechanism of action of psilocybin discovered: anti-inflammatory in the brain
Scientific research has shown that there is a link between inflammatory processes in the body and depression. Several inflammatory markers have been linked to depression, including TNF-alpha, IL-6 and CRP. These are exactly the inflammatory markers that psilocybin has a good influence on.
CRP, or C-reactive protein, is a natural inflammatory marker that increases in response to inflammation and injury in the body. Elevated levels of CRP are associated with several health problems, including cardiovascular disease, arthritis and autoimmune diseases, depression and anxiety. The new research suggests that psilocybin may have anti-inflammatory properties and could potentially lower CRP levels in the body well after the session. The latest study has shown that psilocybin can lead to a reduction in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha… psilocybin also has a direct influence on the immune cells that produce TNF-alpha. Furthermore, it has been shown that psilocybin can reduce the activity of these immune cells, reducing the production of TNF-alpha and inhibiting the inflammatory response in the body.
