“…Accordingly, the recent diet westernization of developing countries has been associated with an increased prevalence of inflammatory or autoimmune disorders (Manzel et al, 2014). In contrast, reduced caloric intake is associated with improved outcomes for metabolic, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including NAFLD (Kani et al, 2017), T2DM , CVD (Wei et al,10 2017), multiple sclerosis (Choi et al, 2016;Jahromi et al, 2014), rheumatoid arthritis (Choi et al, 2017;Kjeldsen-Kragh et al, 1991), asthma (Johnson et al, 2007), psoriasis (Jensen et al, 2016), colitis (Shibolet et al, 2002), and sepsis (Starr et al, 2016;Wannemacher et al, 1979) and has been shown to prolong the lifespan of rodents, monkeys, and humans (Fontana et al, 2010;Picca et al, 2017). However, the molecular mechanisms by which caloric restriction 15 modulates systemic inflammation remain poorly understood.…”
