What is Catestatin?
Catestatin is a chromogranin A-derived peptide with reported anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, and autonomic effects. It has been studied for dampening inflammatory signaling and reducing cytokine-driven tissue stress.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
reduces inflammatory cytokine signaling
supports endothelial health
may lower oxidative stress
modulates macrophage activity
Research Summary
Catestatin has emerged as a multi-function peptide with anti-inflammatory and cardiometabolic relevance, including effects on macrophage behavior and cytokine production. Preclinical literature supports NF-kappaB suppression and reduced inflammatory damage in several models.
