Talk to your doctor before attempting any strategies to decrease monocyte count. Regular exercise is anti-inflammatory. Monocyte counts have also been significantly associated with reduced triglyceride levels, increased insulin sensitivity , and decreased body mass index [ 55 ].
In obese people, weight loss was accompanied by a significant reduction in monocyte and neutrophil counts. The decrease in circulating monocytes correlated with better insulin sensitivity [ 21 ]. Regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids—found in oily fish such as mackerel and salmon or fish oil supplements—may protect against atherosclerosis and heart disease [ 56 ].
People taking fish oil supplements were less likely to have inflammation in the blood vessel walls caused by monocytes. This effect was not as pronounced in people already taking medication to treat peripheral artery disease [ 57 ].
Some research suggests that the Mediterranean diet could reduce inflammation caused by monocytes [ 58 , 59 ]. The Mediterranean diet is comprised of foods such as seeds, nuts, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and monounsaturated fats from olive oil.
Alcohol influences monocyte function. In one study, the monocytes of people who drank a moderate amount of alcohol were less active, even after only a single drink. Monocytes exposed directly to alcohol also had a reduced inflammatory response to proinflammatory compounds [ 60 , 61 ]. Moderate alcohol consumption, about 1 or 2 drinks per day, is associated with significantly reduced monocyte production of inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1beta.
It is also associated with increased production of IL, an anti-inflammatory signal[ 62 , 61 ]. We do not recommend increasing your alcohol intake for the purpose of curtailing inflammation. Talk to your doctor about more appropriate anti-inflammatory strategies. This reduction persisted for about 24 hours. Subsequently, monocyte levels return to normal 24 to 72 hours after treatment [ 63 ].
According to one study, estrogen and possibly also progesterone decreases monocyte count by preventing monocytes from reproducing. This mechanism could explain why cell-mediated immunity appears to drop during pregnancy [ 64 ]. Infliximab kills monocytes, which may help reduce inflammation in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases [ 68 ]. The conditions most commonly linked to high monocytes monocytosis are chronic infections and inflammation.
In turn, having too many monocytes may worsen inflammation and clog your blood vessels. Strategies that may be of interest to people with high monocytes include regular exercise, weight loss, and a Mediterranean-style diet.
High Levels of Monocytes Monocytosis. Conditions Associated with Monocytosis. It is when the number of cells is expressed as an absolute number, rather than as a percentage.
The absolute monocytes count can be worked out by multiplying the total number of white blood cells in the body against the percentage of white blood cells which are monocytes. Men usually have a slightly higher count of monocytes than women.
If the body has white blood cells, then the normal absolute monocytes range is between 80 and Having an absolute monocytes count that is higher or lower than typical is not dangerous in itself, but it can indicate that the person needs to be examined further.
A high monocyte count or high monocyte can indicate other medical conditions. An infection by a bacteria, virus or fungus can cause an increase in monocyte levels. This is because the body creates more monocytes to fight the invader. An absolute monocytes high can also be a response to stress, chronic infections or autoimmune disorders.
Low or high numbers of monocytes do not usually cause symptoms. However, people may have symptoms of the disorder that caused the change in monocyte number. Diagnosis is by blood testing complete blood count done when a person has signs or symptoms of an infection or autoimmune disorder. Sometimes the condition is discovered by chance when a complete blood count is done during a routine physical or for the evaluation of another condition. An increased number of monocytes in the blood monocytosis occurs in response to chronic infections, in autoimmune disorders, in blood disorders, and in certain cancers.
An increase in the number of macrophages in parts of the body other than in the blood such as the lungs, skin, and other organs can occur in response to infections, sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis Sarcoidosis is a disease in which abnormal collections of inflammatory cells granulomas form in many organs of the body.
Sarcoidosis usually develops in people aged 20 to 40, most often people A low number of monocytes in the blood monocytopenia can be caused by anything that decreases the overall white blood cell count see also Neutropenia Neutropenia Neutropenia is an abnormally low number of neutrophils a type of white blood cell in the blood.
Neutropenia, if severe, significantly increases the risk of life-threatening infection. Many disorders can decrease the number of lymphocytes in the blood, but viral infections Septic shock is life-threatening low blood pressure A rare genetic disorder that affects the bone marrow, causes a very low monocyte count and also decreases the number of certain kinds of lymphocytes Lymphocytes One of the body's lines of defense immune system involves white blood cells leukocytes that travel through the bloodstream and into tissues, searching for and attacking microorganisms and The disorder increases the risk of infection with certain organisms, including a group of bacteria known as Mycobacterium avium complex Infections Caused by Bacteria Related to Tuberculosis TB The bacteria that cause tuberculosis TB are classified as mycobacteria.
Many types of mycobacteria exist. Many of the types that do not cause tuberculosis called nontuberculous mycobacteria Some types of HPV cause skin warts, and other types cause genital warts growths in or around the vagina, penis, or rectum. Infection with some HPV
