Disease: Cachexia
Cachexia
0.600 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE It has further been suggested that TNF may play a role in the pathobiochemistry of CF cachexia, secondary to the localized inflammatory response in the lung or wider systemic activation of cells of the monocyte-macrophage series in response to endotoxin. 8217192 1993

Cachexia
0.600 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE However, from various studies it has become clear that the action of TNF can only be understood in the context of simultaneous presence of other cytokines, some of which have activities that are at the least equally important as TNF in bringing about cachexia. 9290087 1997
CUI: C0006625
Disease: Cachexia
Cachexia
0.600 Biomarker phenotype BEFREE The syndrome of cachexia associated with malignant diseases can be in part attributed to the effects of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) which itself is produced by a variety of tumour cells. 9594023 1998
CUI: C0006625
Disease: Cachexia
Cachexia
