In a randomized controlled multiple cross-over trial, the effect of a single application of 1000 and 3000 F.I.P. bromelain on 6 cytokines, of male healthy volunteers was studied. The analysis of cytokines (Interferon gamma, IL-2, IL-6, IL8, IL-10, IL13 and MCP-1) was performed with the TrueCulture(tm) whole-blood culture system (EDI GmbH). With a single dose of 3000 F. I. P. bromelain, IFNgamma was found to be significantly stimulated in the afternoon hours compared to placebo (p = 0.043; Mixed Linear Model, Bonferroni adjusted).
