Once stimulated, the inflammatory response activates a series of signaling pathways and a number of immune cells which promote, in a very coordinated manner, the neutralization of the infectious agent. However, if uncontrolled, the inflammatory status may become chronic leading, potentially, to tissue damage and disease onset. Several risk factors are associated with the development of chronic inflammation and, among these factors, diet plays an essential role. In this chapter the effects of some dietary bioactive compounds, including micronutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, nucleotides and polyphenols, on the immunoinflammatory responses in different cellular, animal and human studies have been summarized. metadata Giampieri, Francesca; Cianciosi, Danila; Ansary, Johura; Elexpuru Zabaleta, Maria; Forbes-Hernandez, Tamara Y. y Battino, Maurizio mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, maria.elexpuru@uneatlantico.es, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR (2021) Immunoinflammatory effects of dietary bioactive compounds.
