Interleukin 1
Also known as: IL-1
Formerly known as: Catabolin; Endogenous Pyrogen; Hemopoietin-1; Leukocytic and Endogenous Mediator; Lymphocyte-Activating Factor; Osteoclast-Activating Factor
Description
Interleukin 1 is a type of Interleukin.
Biological Function of Interleukin 1
Immune System
Interleukin 1 enhances the growth and differentiation of B-Lymphocytes.
Interleukin 1 enhances the ability of the Immune System to destroy Cancer cells.
Interleukin 1 is produced by Macrophages and Monocytes, and Neutrophils and activates Helper T-Cells.
Interleukin 1 stimulates Helper T-Cells to produce Interleukin 2.
Interleukin 1 may Enhance the Function of these Substances
Hormones
Interleukin 1 (IL-1b form) stimulates the production of Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH) in the Hypothalamus. [1]
Immune System Chemicals
Interleukin 1 stimulates the activity of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). [2]
These Substances may Enhance the Function/Production of Interleukin 1
Carbohydrates
Beta 1,6 Glucan may stimulate Interleukin 1.
Grifolan (a form of Beta 1,3 Glucan present in Maitake Mushrooms) may stimulate the production and activity of Interleukin 1 by Macrophages. [3]
Echinacin (an Arabinogalactan found in Echinacea purpurea) may stimulate Macrophages to release Interleukin 1. [4]
Lentinan may stimulate the production of Interleukin 1:
Lentinan stimulates the endogenous production of Interleukin 1 in Cancer patients.
Enzymes
Bromelain (especially when administered in conjunction with Papain and Pancreatic Amylase) may stimulate the production of Interleukin 1 (Interleukin 1 beta form). [5]
Pancreatic Amylase (especially when administered in conjunction with Papain and Bromelain) may stimulate the production of Interleukin 1 (Interleukin 1 beta form). [6]
Papain (especially when administered in conjunction with Bromelain and Pancreatic Amylase) may stimulate the production of Interleukin 1 (Interleukin 1 beta form). [7]
Peptides
Carnosine may increase the production of Interleukin 1 by Neutrophils. [8]
Prescribed Medications: Vaccines
Bestatin (a Vaccine derived from Streptomyces olivoreticuli) may stimulate the production and release of Interleukin 1. [9]
Biostim may stimulate the production and secretion of Interleukin 1. [10]
These Foods/Herbs may Enhance the Function/Production of Interleukin 1
Algae
Chlorella may facilitate the production of Interleukin 1 (Interleukin 1 alpha form). [11]
Spirulina may increase the production of Interleukin 1. [12]
Herbs
Black Cumin may increase the body’s production of Interleukin 1 (Interleukin 1 beta form). [13]
