The ability of fish oil to suppress tumor necrosis factor alpha production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in healthy men is associated with polymorphisms in genes that influence tumor necrosis factor alpha production

The ability of fish oil to suppress tumor necrosis factor alpha production by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in healthy men is associated with polymorphisms in genes that influence tumor necrosis factor alpha production

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) mediates inflammation. High TNF-alpha production has adverse effects during disease. Polymorphisms in the TNF-alpha and lymphotoxin alpha genes influence TNF-alpha production. Fish oil suppresses TNF-alpha production and has variable antiinflammato...
