Summary
AI-generated from the abstractA preliminary study suggests that psilocybin may cause a temporary increase in cytokine production within one week after administration, but this effect is not consistent across different patient populations. The findings indicate that peripheral cytokine production is possibly altered by psilocybin.

Abstract
This preliminary study suggests that a transient increase in cytokine production ≤1-week postpsilocybin may be found, although not consistently across patient populations. More broadly, peripheral cytokine production is possibly altered by psilocybin administration. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01988311.
