Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a potent catabolic factor to skeletal muscle. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of the TNF-alpha coding gene, TNF, have been implicated in the interindividual variation in TNF-alpha production via transcriptional regulation. T...
