Insulin resistance contributes importantly to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
One mechanism mediating insulin resistance may involve the phosphorylation of serine …

Cisplatin is an important chemotherapeutic agent but can cause acute renal injury. Part of
this acute renal injury is mediated through tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The pathway …

Occupational exposure to crystalline silica has been linked to pulmonary fibrosis and lung
cancer. Surface properties of crystalline silica are critical to the production of oxidant …

Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) contributes to the pathogenesis of both acute and chronic
inflammatory diseases and has been a target for the development of new anti-inflammatory …

The present study was undertaken to explore the role of interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) p40 in the
expression of TNF‐α in microglia. Interestingly, we have found that IL‐12 p70, p402 (the p40 …

The present work investigated the inhibitory activity of the polysaccharide from cultivated
