The aim of this study was to examine the anti-inflammatory effects of co-administration of growthhormone-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2) and growth hormone (GH) on tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression induced by LPS in the mousebrain. Thirty-five male NMRI mice (25±5 g) were injected through the mouse tail vein with saline,...

Background: The immunologic profile of chronic urticaria is not only important for diagnostic purposes, but also for therapeutic approaches. This study evaluated the serum levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) and Interferon-ϒ (IFN-ϒ) in patients with chronic urticaria to find a biomarker.Materials and Methods: Forty-one patients with chronic urticaria referring to the...

background: bone resorption is one of the main features of inflammatory periapical lesions and is mainly mediated by interleukin-1 beta (il-1β), tumor necrosis factoralpha (tnf-α) and prostaglandin-e2 (pge2). recent investigations of these lesions revealed that pharmacological modulation may be possible. objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ibuprofen on il-1β, tnf-α an...

Pyrexia or Fever is defined as an elevation of body temperature. It a response due to tissue damage, inflammation, malignancy graft rejection. Cytokines, interleukin, interferon and Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNF- α) are formed in large amount under this condition, which increase PGE2 turn triggers hypothalamus elevate The present investigation it may be concluded that the hydroalcoholic extract ...

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been suggested to be a putative tumor promoter gene, and autocrine of TNF-α expression has been found in colon cancer and ovarian cancer. As the role of autocrine TNF-α in human gallbladder cancer has not yet been elucidated, the present study examined the expression of TNF-α in gallbladder cancer-derived cell lines. Based on the data, TNF-α mRNA and TNF-α pr...

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the bacteria that causes postpartum infection, where this bacterium releases peptidoglycans and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) start inflammation response, which then responded by macrophages releasing pro-inflammation cytokines such as Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-α) Interleukin 1-Beta (IL-1β). Red Turi leaf extract, known to contain saponins, flavonoids, tannins w...

pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-specific syndrome that may be dangerous especially to the fetus. different cytokines have been found to be elevated in women with pre-eclampsia and may have possible roles in the development of this disorder. alleles of the interleukin-l-beta (il-lβ) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (tnf-α) genes are associated with pr-eeclampsia in several studies in different popul...

Purpose: To study the influence of etanercept on diabetic retinopathy in rats via tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)/nuclear kappa-light-chain-enhancer activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling pathway. 
 Methods: Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley (SD) were randomly divided into normal, model and groups. The expression Caspase-3 was determined by immunohistochemistry, while relative protein mRNA levels...
