When the migration of pDCs into the fat is blocked, weight gain is reduced and the metabolic condition improves considerably. This interferon usually mediates the control of infections, but here it triggers the metabolic syndrome: the metabolism derails and inflammatory markers rise. 'Now, these pDCs in visceral fat are in a constant state of alarm and release type-I interferon,' explains Walzog. With high caloric diet, small clusters of immune cells form tertiary lymphoid structures inside this fat, resulting in fatal immune responses. This adipose tissue is located inside the abdomen and surrounds internal organs. Researchers show it is possible to improve specific human brain functions related to self-control and mental flexibility by merging artificial intelligence with targeted electrical brain stimulation. Spending time in nature provides protections against a startling range of diseases, including depression, diabetes, obesity, ADHD. 'A particular kind of immune cells known as plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) begins to accumulate in the visceral adipose tissue,' explains Stutte. Mindfulness-based programmes for mental health promotion in adults in non-clinical settings: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. Immune system may be pathway between nature and good health. Susanne Stutte and Professor Barbara Walzog has shown that a high-caloric diet, even for a period of only three weeks, has drastic effects on the immune system. As part of a new study, a group of LMU researchers led by Dr. Immunological processes determine the course of this disease.
