Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-α)

Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by immune cells. It plays a key role in the body's acute inflammatory response and helps coordinate immune activity against infections and damaged tissue. However, chronically elevated TNF-a is implicated in a wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, and metabolic syndrome. Elevated TNF-a has also been linked to insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and accelerated aging. This test is valuable for individuals investigating chronic inflammation, autoimmune symptoms, or those tracking the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory interventions.
