Is Reye's syndrome caused by augmented release of tumour necrosis factor?

A possible role for antibodies to tumour necrosis factor alpha and to endotoxin in the treatment of Reye's syndrome.

The Effects of Black Mulberry Supplementation on Plasma Interleukin-6 and Tumour Necrosis Factor-α Response to One Session Basketball Training in Female Basketball Players

Background and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of mulberry supplementation on two pro-inflammatory markers response, Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and performance after a session of strenuous exercise. Black Mulberry is a fruit rich in flavonoids and anthocyanins which have been proved to act as antioxidants in body. Materials and Methods: Fifteen female basketball playe...

Reye's syndrome associated with acute tubular necrosis.

Two cases of Reye's syndrome, complicated by acute reversible renal failure, are presented. One case followed an influenza A virus infection.

Recombinant tumor necrosis factor causes activation of human granulocytes.

We have tested the hypothesis that tumor necrosis factor (TNF), by binding to and activating granulocytes, may contribute to the pathogenesis of gram-negative sepsis and the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Buffy coat granulocytes incubated with as little as 0.5 ng/mL of recombinant TNF (rTNF) showed a dose-related increase in nitroblue tetrazolium dye reduction, in granulocyte polar...

Assessment of myocardial injury by serum tumour necrosis factor alpha measurements in acute myocardial infarction.

Clinical and experimental data have shown that after acute myocardial infarction there is a significant release of tumour necrosis factor alpha. Therefore, an attempt was made to correlate changes in serum tumour necrosis factor alpha concentrations with indices of infarct extent in patients with acute myocardial infarction. In 50 patients with acute myocardial infarction, blood samples for eva...
