microcurrent reduces succinate buildup linked to inflammatory signaling in immune cells
Microcurrent electrical stimulation reduced succinate accumulation in LPS-stimulated macrophages, which may partly account for the suppression of IL-1β expression.
What this means for you
Succinate is a metabolic byproduct that ramps up inflammatory signals in your immune cells — it's part of why the body can get stuck in a low-grade inflammatory state. When microcurrent helps keep succinate levels in check, it may support a calmer, more balanced immune response — something that matters for recovery, comfort, and how you feel day to day.
The published research
Activation of the pentose phosphate pathway by microcurrent stimulation mediates antioxidant effects in inflammation-stimulated macrophages.
