From: Carotid sinus nerve electrical stimulation in conscious rats attenuates systemic inflammation via chemoreceptor activation

Figure 3

Carotid body denervation (Ch-X) abrogates the anti-inflammatory effects of electrical stimulation of the carotid sinus nerve (CSN) on plasma cytokines concentration in LPS induced systemic inflammation in conscious rats. Panel a: TNF (**p = 0.005 vs Control) 1 hour after LPS administration. Panels b, c, and d, respectively: IL-6 (**p < 0.001 vs Control), IL-1β (**p < 0.001 vs Control), and IL-10 (**p = 0.004 vs Control) at 3 hours after LPS administration. Number of animals is shown between parentheses.
