Vagus nerve participates in regulation of the airways: inflammatory response and hyperreactivity induced by occupational asthmogens.
An initial recognition of occupational asthmogens present in dust, fume or aerosol particles is carried out by a specialized subset of immune cells, dendritic cells and macrophages, present in the airway tissues. When activated by asthmogens these cells release proinflammatory molecular signals and not only send them to other cells of the innate immunological system, but also activate sensory p...
متن کاملAnti-Inflammatory Effects of Acupuncture Stimulation via the Vagus Nerve
Although acupuncture therapy is widely used in traditional Asian medicine for the treatment of diverse internal organ disorders, its underlying biological mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we investigated the functional involvement of acupuncture stimulation (AS) in the regulation of inflammatory responses. TNF-α production in mouse serum, which was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) admin...
متن کاملVagus nerve stimulation therapy
Over the past 5 years, and especially within the last year, there has been a rapid expansion of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)-related preclinical research, as well as clinical studies in indications other than epilepsy. The research advances in understanding VNS are occurring in the midst of a blossoming of other forms of therapeutic brain stimulation, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), t...
متن کاملVagus Nerve Stimulation.
The vagus nerve is a major component of the autonomic nervous system, has an important role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis, and plays a key role in the neuroendocrine-immune axis to maintain homeostasis through its afferent and efferent pathways. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) refers to any technique that stimulates the vagus nerve, including manual or electrical stimulation. Left ce...
