From: Non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation attenuates proinflammatory cytokines and augments antioxidant levels in the brainstem and forebrain regions of Dahl salt sensitive rats

Figure 1

Gene expression of cytokines in the brainstem and forebrain regions after LLTS or sham stimulation. The mRNA levels of cytokines IL-6, IL1-Beta and TNF-Alpha in the brain regions SP5, NAb, NTS, RVLM, PVN, and SFO after low salt (LS), high salt with sham stimulation (HS sham) and high salt with LLTS (HS active) treatment are shown. Values are mean ± SE (n = 4–6/group). *P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
