Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in liver inflammation. CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40-CD40L) is a key receptor–ligand signaling pair involved the adaptive immune response and pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. In mice, CD40 activation leads to sickness behavior syndrome (SBS) comprising weight loss, sleep disruption depression, which can be blocked by administration TNF-in...

Objective: This study aimed to monitor oxidative stress parameters including total antioxidant status (TAS) and oxidant (TOS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) level during the healing process in hair goats with metritis. 
 Materials Methods: was carried out on a of 25 metritis (n=10; Group 1) healthy (n=15; 2). The beginning accepted as day 0. In both 1 2, blood samples were collected ...

Abstract Vascular inflammation activated by pro-inflammatory cytokines is an inflammatory response that occurs in the early stages of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction vascular begins with expression cell surface adhesion molecules cytokines. The purpose this study was to evaluate and verify effects isobavachalcone. In study, we investigated isobavachalcone on responses induced tumor nec...

background: despite the outbreak in dental science, oral and dental complications in alzheimer are of the unsolved problems. it is assumed that tumor necrosis factor-α, which is a key factor in alzheimer, has a relation with periodontal complications in patients with alzheimer disease. the present study evaluated the effect of chronic periodontitis on serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α in ...

background: there is no convenient cheap pragmatic experimental model for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (nash). we aimed to create a pragmatic model of nafld/nash. methods: sprague-dawley rats were fed a high-fat, high sugar homemade diet ad libitum for seven weeks. the high-fat, high sugar diet included 59% of energy derived from fat, 30% from carbohydra...

background and aims: plants as medicines have always played a vital role in human life. tumor necrosis factor alpha (tnf)-α is one of the macrophage-derived inflammatory cytokine with pleotropic effects in the inflammation process. some studies have been demonstrated that some of the echinops species have anti-inflammatory activity. in fact, echinops lasilepis is introduced as one of the native...

Objective(s): Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) causes pulmonary toxicity. Infliximab (Ib) is a potent inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). We aimed to investigate whether Ib has a protective effect on CCl4 induced lung injury. Materials and Methods:Rats were divided into control, CCl4, and CCl4+Ib groups. A single dose of 2 ml/kg CCI4 was administered to CCI4 group and a single dose of...

Background: Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) share a number of clinical and pathologic features, one of which is the presence of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-induced bone resorption that is involved in the pathogenesis of both. Objectives: To investigate the effect of TNF-α blockade on periodontal conditions in patients with active RA. Method: The periodontal statuses of 3...
