 Papaya and anti inflammatory effects
The immune system is the set of cells and their activity against antigens or infectious agents that comprises of the body's defense system against diseases.
According to Universiti Putra Malaysia, papaya exhibited anti inflammatory effects through T cells
regulated regulation through suppression of inflammatory cytokines(1). Mangiferin (MF), a natural glucosyl xanthone found in papaya showed a significant protection against sepsis-induced ALI through inhibiting inflammatory signaling and proinflammatory mediators(2). Fermented papaya preparation, a functional food supplement, in the study of Touro College of Pharmacy exhibited anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunostimulatory (at the level of the mucus membrane) and induction of antioxidant enzymes(3).
