Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor necrosis factor (cachectin) is an endogenous pyrogen and induces production of interleukin 1

TL;DR: These studies show that TNF (cachectin) is another endogenous pyrogen which, like IL-1 and IFN-alpha, directly stimulate hypothalamic PGE2 synthesis and is an endogenous inducer ofIL-1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rheumatoid cachexia: cytokine-driven hypermetabolism accompanying reduced body cell mass in chronic inflammation.

TL;DR: Loss of body cell mass is common in RA; cytokine production in RA is associated with altered energy metabolism and intake, despite a theoretically adequate diet; and TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta modulate energy metabolic and body composition in RA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin E supplementation enhances cell-mediated immunity in healthy elderly subjects.

TL;DR: Short-term vitamin E supplementation improves immune responsiveness in healthy elderly individuals; this effect appears to be mediated by a decrease in PGE2 and/or other lipid-peroxidation products.
Journal Article

Interleukin 1 induces interleukin 1. I: Induction of circulating interleukin 1 in rabbits in vivo and in human mononuclear cells in vitro

TL;DR: The ability of IL-1 to participate in an amplification event by inducing its own gene expression leading to synthesis of biologically active and immunoreactiveIL-1-beta in human MNC in vitro is examined.
