Anti-inflammatory properties of the vagus nerve: potential therapeutic implications of vagus nerve stimulation.
Bonaz B, Sinniger V, Pellissier S. Bonaz B, et al. J Physiol. 2016 Oct 15;594(20):5781-5790. doi: 10.1113/JP271539. Epub 2016 May 1. J Physiol. 2016. PMID: 27059884 Free PMC article. Review.
Recent data have suggested the anti-inflammatory role of the VN. This vagal function is mediated through several pathways, some of them still debated. The first one is the anti-inflammatory hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis which is stimulated by vagal affe …
