That...isn't what the study says, I think. In fact, it says that the level of hsCRP--a marker of inflammation--actually increased in the subjects who undertook intermittent fasting, though the difference from the control group (1.02 ± 2.73 vs. −0.25 ± 5.66) was far from statistically significant (p = 0.23, see Table 3). That's the only part of the study that even mentions inflammation.
