In the United States, researchers have discovered one of the mechanisms behind the inflammatory response. Specifically, they have isolated a molecule capable of preventing the intestinal reaction: alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH).
This molecule appears to block inflammation at the cellular level. At least the results obtained in vitro, in the laboratory.
