Fig. 9From: δ-Tocotrienol feeding modulates gene expression of EIF2, mTOR, protein ubiquitination through multiple-signaling pathways in chronic hepatitis C patientsEffect on interleukin-6 (IL-6) regulator of gene expression in plasma of total mRNAs obtained from δ-tocotrienol treatment of hepatitis C patients. The IL-6 was down-regulated by δ-tocotrienol treatment, and is considered a regulator of acute phase responses and a lymphocyte stimulatory factor. The most important role of IL-6 is for the management of infection and inflammatory diseases. The transcription of IL-6 gene is stimulated by TNF-α and IL-1 via activation of NF-κBBack to article page
