Tumor necrosis factor-alpha in gestation and puerperium of women with gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007-03-01)
Problem High plasma levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in pregnant women have been associated with the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia (PE). This study evaluated TNF-alpha plasma levels and monocyte production ...
Secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha by mouse peritoneal macrophages in the presence of dental sealers, sealapex and endomethasone
(2004-07-01)
After filling root canals, the healing process depends on the chemical composition or physical-chemical properties of the material used, among other factors. All root canal sealers, whether solid or plastic, are foreign ...
Circulating levels of sTNFR and discrepancy between cytotoxicity and immunoreactivity of TNF-alpha in patients with visceral leishmaniasis
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2000-01-01)
Objective To study the influence of soluble tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptors (sTNFR) on bioactivity; and immunoreactivity of TNF-alpha in patients with visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-azar) and to examine the association ...
Infliximab-induced psoriasis during therapy for Crohn's disease
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-06-01)
Although therapy with tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (anti-TNF) provides beneficial effects in different immune inflammatory disorders, paradoxical cases of anti-THE-induced psoriasis have increasingly been reported, ...
EARLY ACTIVATION OF SPLENIC MACROPHAGES BY TUMOR-NECROSIS-FACTOR-ALPHA IS IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING THE OUTCOME OF EXPERIMENTAL HISTOPLASMOSIS IN MICE
(Amer Soc Microbiology, 1992-10-01)
Experimental infection of animals with Histoplasma capsulatum caused a massive macrophage infiltration into the spleen and induced the production of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) locally. The cytokine was also ...
Influence of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis outer proteins (Yops) on interleukin-12, tumor necrosis factor alpha and nitric oxide production by peritoneal macrophages
(Elsevier B.V., 2004-06-15)
An essential key to pathogenicity in Yersinia is the presence of a 70 kb plasmid (pYV) which encodes a type-III secretion system and several virulence outer proteins whose main function is to enable the bacteria to survive ...
Metacyclogenesis modulates the ability of Leishmania promastigotes to induce IL-12 production in human mononuclear cells
(1997-12-01)
Immunity against the intracellular protozoan Leishmania species is highly dependent on Th1 development. We have previously shown that IL-12 is a powerful and probably obligatory factor for Th1 cell generation and proliferation. ...
Inhibition of Nitric Oxide and Tumour Necrosis Factor-alpha Production in Peritoneal Macrophages by Aspergillus nidulans Melanin
(Pharmaceutical Soc Japan, 2014)
Pentoxifylline decreases tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1 during high tidal volume
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2003-10-01)
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is one of the most important proinflammatory cytokines which plays a central role in host defense and in the acute inflammatory response related to tissue injury. The major source ...
Cytokines and dietary energy restriction in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients
(2003-12-01)
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α has been found to be increased in malnourished chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients; however, the main cause of this phenomenon remains undetermined. In normal subjects, TNF-α ...
