Now, thanks to new research from Jerrold Olefsky of the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and colleagues, the mechanisms underlying these anti-inflammatory properties is somewhat better understood. Their results could lead to the development of a dietary supplement to treat the inflammation that characterizes obesity and other conditions.
