Tumor necrosis factor alpha and mesangial cells
Bacterial infections promote important alterations in immune, hemodynamic, and metabolic function which can result in irreversible shock. These changes are mediated by host-secreted cytokines rather than by direct action of the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from the cell wall of bacteria.

The role of tumor necrosis factor-α and natural killer cells in uterine artery function and pregnancy outcome in the stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rat [PDF]
Women with chronic hypertension are at increased risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. We have previously characterized the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) as a model of deficient uterine artery function and adverse ...

Role of tumor necrosis factor-α and its receptors in diesel exhaust particle-induced pulmonary inflammation [PDF]
Inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) induces an inflammatory reaction in the lung. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine that operates by binding to tumor

Eicosanoids and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the kidney [PDF]
The thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL) is capable of metabolizing arachidonic acid (AA) by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways and has been identified as a nephron segment that contributes to salt-sensitive hypertension. Previous studies demonstrated a prominent role for CYP450-dependent metabolism of AA to products that ...

ALPHA TUMOR NECROSIS – AS PREDICTIVE FACTOR IN DENTAL IMPLANT MANAGEMENT
Introduction. The studies regarding the involvement of TNF-alpha together with other pro-inflammatory cytokines in the occurrence and progression of peri-implantitis is of particular importance in the perspective of making an early diagnosis regarding ...

Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha-Mediated Asthma? [PDF]
Thus the pathophysiology of allergic asthma is traditionally explained by mast celland/or Th2 cell-mediated airway inflammation, which is a manifestation of the acquired immune response. On the other hand, recent studies have identified various other important molecules associated with phenotypes of asthma, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)[2, 3] ,

Targeting Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha for Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects an estimated 44 million individuals worldwide, yet no therapeutic intervention is available to stop the progression of the dementia. Neuropathological hallmarks of AD are extracellular deposits of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides assembled in plaques, intraneuronal accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein forming ...

Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors in psoriatic arthritis. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can result in significant disability. With the emergence of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), therapeutic outcomes in PsA have improved substantially.
