.... In the present study, we measured the pre- and postoperative serum concentrations of melatonin, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and cortisol in women who underwent an elective hysterectomy and correlated the variation in melatonin with postoperative pain. Methods: We evaluated 12 women who had an abdominal...

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the gene expression of TRAF2...

.... In a pilot volunteer study using smoking (n = 4) and nonsmoking (n = 7) individuals, vagal output was stimulated by olive oil administration after which monocytes were analyzed for nicotinic receptor expression. Serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels were determined using ELISA and expression levels...

... shift, protects the organism from systemic ‘overshooting’ with Th1/pro-inflammatory cytokines. Under certain conditions, however, stress hormones may actually facilitate inflammation through induction of interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-18, tumor necrosis factor-α and C-reactive protein production...

... were compared to those of rats treated as neonates with vehicle. To investigate a possible involvement of cytokines, plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were measured during LPS- and FIA-induced fever in rats after capsaicin-induced desensitization. Body temperature...

...) was initiated more rapidly in rats injected with 500 ng of hrIL-11 in the cerebral ventricles, and (iii) the enhancement of the initial phase of fever induced by hrIL-11 was not accompanied by changes in plasma concentrations of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). These results indicate that hrIL-11...

.... In the present study, we tried to find out if this model of fever induction can be applied in guinea pigs and if the local LPS-induced formation of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) participates in the development of the febrile response. A dose of 100 μg/kg LPS was injected into a subcutaneous air pouch along...

Many cytokines are endogenous mediators of fever (i.e. endogenous pyrogens), including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and others. Tumor necrosis factor-α may be both an endogenous pyrogen and an endogenous antipyretic...
