Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Protects Endotoxemic Rat from Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation
Figure 4
ta-VNS or ST36 stimulation with bilateral cervical vagotomy (VGX) fails to inhibit the LPS-induced serum TNF-α response. TNF-α amounts were measured by ELISA. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM ( per group). versus the normal saline (NS) group.
