Abstract

Catabolic proinflammatory cytokines play a key role in mediating biochemical changes associated with many pathophysiological states. The present review emphasizes the role of this type of cytokine in inflammation and cachexia. Additionally, it reviews the role of one of these mediators in the induction of insulin resistance by dealing with some of the most recent publications on this topic.
