Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Electrical vagus nerve (VN) stimulation during sepsis attenuates tumor necrosis factor (TNF) production through the cholinergic anti‐inflammatory pathway, which depends on the integrity of the VN and catecholamine production. To characterize the effect of electroacupuncture at ST36 (EA‐ST36) on serum TNF, IL‐6, nitrite, and HMGB1 levels and survival ...
