Plasma Levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor α and Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptors in Patients With Narcolepsy

CIRCULATING SOLUBLE TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR RECEPTORS, INTERLEUKIN-2 RECEPTORS, TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR a, AND INTERLEUKIN-6 LEVELS IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

Evaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis

Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...

salivary levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α in patients undergoing hemodialysis

background: infl ammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (il-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (tnf-α) are elevated in end-stage renal disease (esrd). il-6 and tnf-α are toxins which deteriorate renal function, and their pathogenic role has been confi rmed in cardiovascular and oral diseases. this study was designed to investigate the salivary levels of il-6 and tnf-α in patients with esrd un...

Tumor necrosis factor- α, adiponectin and their ratio in gestational diabetes mellitus

Background: It has been suggested that inflammation might be implicated in the gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) complications, including insulin resistance. The aims of the current study were to explore maternal circulating values of TNF-α, adiponectin and the adiponectin/TNF-α ratio in women with GDM compared with normal pregnancy and their relationships with metabolic syndrome ...

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Interleukin-1- β Polymorphisms in Pre-Eclampsia

Background: Pre-eclampsia is the most common critical condition during pregnancy. Plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β) increase in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia, compared to normal pregnant women. Objective: To investigate the polymorphisms of IL-1β (C+3954T), TNF-α (G- 308A), and (G-238A) in preeclemptic women northeastern Iran. Me...
