Core Tip Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) contributes to dysglycemia after acute pancreatitis not only by activating apoptotic pathways, but also by coordinating a broader network of inflammatory, oxidative, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and metabolic signals that impair β-cell function. Recognizing TNF-α as an upstream integrator, rather than a single apoptotic trigger, helps explain the heterogeneity of post-pancreatitis dysglycemia and highlights new therapeutic opportunities aimed at enhancing β-cell metabolic resilience.
