Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is an inflammatory cytokine.

“"Those who attempted a 25% calorie-restricted diet for two years resulted in lower total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, TNF-alpha, and blood pressure even though they only were able to achieve 12% calorie-restriction.".”

“Elevated biomarkers of inflammation, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), are commonly observed in people with depression. These pro-inflammatory cytokines coincide with the development of depressive symptoms and induce changes in the brain and neuroendocrine function.”

“Elite tennis players who engaged in whole-body cryotherapy had decreases in the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha and increases in IL-6, which exhibits both pro- and anti-inflammatory properties and plays a role in muscle repair.”

“Researchers investigated quercetin's capacity to decrease CRP, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Analysis of six studies involving 348 participants revealed that quercetin reduced CRP in those over the age of 40 years, as well as those who had been diagnosed with a disease.”

“In turn, the immune cells increased their production of TNF-alpha. In light of the known effects of TNF-alpha on sickness behaviors, these findings suggest that TNF-alpha production in the brain mediates sickness behaviors in mice with liver disease.”

“Mice that received the probiotics also had lower TNF-alpha levels and fewer activated immune cells in their brains compared to mice that received a placebo. These findings suggest that probiotics attenuate inflammation-associated sickness behaviors in mice, likely via modulation of the gut-brain axis.”

“FTA: > We have now discovered that activation of 5-HT(2A) receptors in primary aortic smooth muscle cells provides a previously unknown and extremely potent inhibition of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-mediated inflammation. [...] With the exception of a few natural toxins, no current drugs or small molecule therapeutics demonstrate a comparable potency for any physiological effect”

“Participants also provided blood and saliva samples as a means to measure cortisol (a stress hormone), telomerase; anti-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-10 (IL-10); and proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).”

“In addition, the red LED light altered the levels and activation of proteins involved in TRPV4/PI3K/AKT/mTOR – a TNF-alpha-triggered signaling pathway involved in cell growth, movement, and inflammation.”
