Tacrolimus 56-66 tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus 89-98 14991082-10 2003 FK506 (3.2 mg/kg) markedly reduced TNF-alpha expression. Tacrolimus 0-5 tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus 35-44 14991082-14 2003 CONCLUSION: These results show that FK506 is effective in suppressing inflammation, TNF-alpha expression in joint, and damage to bone and cartilage in rat CIA, and may be useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Tacrolimus 36-41 tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus 84-93
