We also observed that Caspase 1 gene expression increased in terminal cachexia (Figure5C), whereas Nod2 gene expression was increased only on T7, returning to basal levels in T14 (Figure5D), whereas Nod1 and Hif‐1α gene expression did not change during the development of cachexia (Figure5E,F). This evidence concerns the gene NOD2 and Cachexia.
