cAMP (cyclic AMP) is produced to bring about inhibition of tumor necrosis factor, which is a pro-inflammatory mediator. According to the provided reference, increased production of cAMP is proposed to have this effect.
Here's a breakdown:
- Prostaglandin's Role: PBM increases the expression of prostaglandin, and prostaglandin is known to elevate cAMP levels.
- Inhibition of TNF: The increase in cAMP is linked to the inhibition of tumor necrosis factor (TNF).
- TNF as a Pro-inflammatory Mediator: TNF is a substance that promotes inflammation.
Therefore, cAMP production is part of a pathway that aims to reduce inflammation by inhibiting TNF.
