Title: Article About Chronic Inflammation ( and MPO Test)
Post by: Quantum on January 29, 2023, 01:19:51 PM

Interesting article about chronic inflammation, its effects, and how to prevent it: https://getpocket.com/explore/item/chronic-inflammation-is-long-lasting-insidious-dangerous-and-you-may-not-even-know-you-have-it (https://getpocket.com/explore/item/chronic-inflammation-is-long-lasting-insidious-dangerous-and-you-may-not-even-know-you-have-it)

One point:  apart from C-reactive protein level to test for chronic inflammation, the article mentions another test:  myeloperoxidase, or MPO, an enzyme released by white blood cells that kills harmful bacteria in inflamed blood vessels, but too much is not good.  Has anybody had it tested?
