How do Interleukins Affect the Body's Response to Toxins?
When the body is exposed to toxins, interleukins play a pivotal role in orchestrating the immune response. They can either exacerbate or mitigate the toxic effects depending on the context. For example, certain interleukins may promote inflammation, which can help isolate and neutralize toxins. However, excessive or prolonged inflammation can lead to tissue damage and other adverse effects. Conversely, some interleukins have anti-inflammatory properties that can help resolve inflammation and promote healing.
