Tau modulation is another critical area, as yoga may reduce hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins, potentially mitigating neurodegenerative processes associated with AD (Clemente-Suárez et al., 2024a) Additionally, yoga impacts inflammatory pathways by downregulating pro-inflammatory markers such as IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP, while upregulating anti-inflammatory cytokines like IL-10, thereby fostering an anti-inflammatory state (Vijayaraghava et al., 2015). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is Alzheimer disease.
