Abstract excerpt
Decreased albumin expression is a frequent feature of cachexia patients afflicted with chronic diseases, including cancer, and a major contributor to their morbidity. Here we show that tumor necrosis-alpha (TNF-alpha) treatment of primary mouse hepatocytes or TNF-alpha overexpression in a mouse model of cachexia induces oxidative stress, nitric oxide synthase (NOS) expression and phosphorylation of C/EBPbeta on...
