Considering that the DII is as a sensitive index for six inflammatory markers: CRP, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α [31]; it can be inferred that lowering the intake of pro-inflammatory, high-DII foods and increasing the consumption of anti-inflammatory, low-DII foods would act as powerful adjuvant therapy for schizophrenia patients [71]. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and schizophrenia.
