Compositions capable of reducing a risk of inflammation in a mammal (s) are provided. The composition contains a therapeutically effective amount of a thermally processed plant material (eg, extruded) that includes (-methylene - (- butyrolactone ((-MGBL) and / or several structurally related parent phytochemicals, capable of inhibiting activity enzymatic and / or transcriptional in the mammal, which is believed to treat and / or prevent inflammation.In this regard, the risk of incidence of another disease or discomforts believed to be caused by inflammation can be reduced (e.g. eg, chronic inflammation.) The phytochemical source can be derived from a single plant material, such as chicory. |
