The presence of the specialized tripeptide KPV allows researchers to monitor the competitive downregulation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) and trace the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) within inflamed intestinal or cutaneous tissues
The progression from acute to chronic disease involves quantitative escalation across multiple immune pathways, not a simple switch from one pathway to another

However, many people who are deficient are simply this way because their bodies are unable to absorb Vitamin B12 efficiently
Reduced risk of megaloblastic anemia
