Due to its anti-TNF activity, PTX has been studied in animals and human adults and newborns to ameliorate inflammatory conditions such as BPD, meconium aspiration, necrotizing enterocolitis, and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy [7–11], and may decrease all-cause mortality due to its anti-inflammatory activity [12–13]. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is perinatal asphyxia.
