The pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α was significantly increased in the mTBI group compared to control on days 3 and 30 p-mTBI (Day 3: 1.42 ± 0.11, 1.00 ± 0.14 fold-increase, respectively, p = 0.05, Day 30: 1.97 ± 0.14, 1.00 ± 0.12, p < 0.0001, Fig. 8F), and in the mTBI + FEAM group only at 30 days p-mTBI (1.65 ± 0.13, p = 0.002, Fig. 8F). Here, TNF is linked to concussion.
