Vagus nerve stimulation protects against acute liver injury induced by renal ischemia reperfusion via antioxidant stress and anti-inflammation

Abstract

VNS exerts protective effects against liver injury from renal I/R via inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis, downregulating inflammatory cytokines and enhancing antioxidative capability in the liver, and may become a promising adjuvant therapeutic strategy for treating liver injury induced by acute renal injury.
