Therapeutic approaches for tumor necrosis factor inhibition
Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2011 Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) consists of an inflammatory cytokine essential for homeostasis and organism defense. Despite its physiological relevance, both increased biosynthesis and release of TNF lead to the exacerbation of inflammatory and oxidative ...

Tumor necrosis factor in the heart [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1998 The heart is a tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-producing organ. Both myocardial macrophages and cardiac myocytes themselves synthesize TNF. Accumulating evidence indicates that myocardial TNF is an autocrine contributor to myocardial dysfunction and cardiomyocyte death in ischemia-reperfusion injury, sepsis, chronic heart failure, viral myocarditis, and ...
