Cytokines are important for the immune system. Researchers studied how a baker's yeast extract affects cytokines in common carp. They found that the extract increased pro-inflammatory cytokines and decreased anti-inflammatory cytokines in the fish. The extract also boosted the fish's ability to fight off bacteria. This suggests that baker's yeast extract could be helpful in aquaculture for improving fish immune systems.
