Article Synopsis
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by damage to nerve axons due to demyelination, and recent studies indicate altered metabolic profiles in MS patients, potentially impacting disease progression.
- In a study of Chinese patients with MS, researchers identified 42 different metabolites in blood samples, noting significant reductions in certain amino acids and lipids, along with heightened levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-17 and TNF-α.
- Findings suggest that these metabolomic changes could influence immune responses, contributing to the pathogenesis of MS by affecting inflammatory processes in the body.
