Topic:Tumor Necrosis Factor
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) is a cytokine involved in the inflammatory response in horses. It is produced by various cells, including macrophages, in reaction to infection, injury, or immune challenges. TNF plays a role in regulating immune cells and mediating inflammatory processes. It can influence the progression of inflammatory diseases and conditions in equine health. This page compiles peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that investigate the expression, regulation, and implications of Tumor Necrosis Factor in equine physiology and pathology.
The lipoxygenase pathway and chemiluminescence in horse eosinophilic leukocytes. It was shown in several cell types that the dual lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase inhibitor eicosatetraynoic acid but not the cyclooxygenase inhibitor acetylsalicylic acid suppressed luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. Since lipoxygenase is known to generate chemiluminescence in vitro, these observations were interpreted as evidence for a direct contribution of the lipoxygenase pathway to light emission in intact cells. We have investigated a possible contribution of the lipoxygenase to the chemiluminescence of horse eosinophils by directly comparing the formation of the byproduct chemilumines...
