Skeletal muscle inflammation is regulated by cytokine homeostasis [17], However, in boys with DMD, there is an imbalance in the release of TNF-α, IL1, and IL6, which are increased, and IL10, which is decreased, as compared to healthy individuals [18], indicating an imbalance in the pro- and anti-inflammatory activity. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
