Vagus nerve stimulation as a strategy to prevent and manage metabolic syndrome.

摘要: An increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, decrease endothelial nitric oxide (eNO) and adiponectin levels an alteration hypothalamic peptides gastrointestinal hormones such as incretins cholecystokinin that regulate satiety, hunger, food intake occur metabolic syndrome. Thus, syndrome is a low-grade systemic inflammatory condition could be due to inappropriate cross-talk between the peripheral tissues centers implying methods designed restore these two abnormalities normal of significant benefit Vagus nerve stimulation has been shown suppress inflammation acetylcholine, principal vagal neurotransmitter, modulates actions several cholecystokinin. Based on evidences, it proposed vagus management
