Hepatic Branch Vagotomy Modulates the Gut-Liver-Brain Axis in Murine Cirrhosis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
BackgroundCirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are linked with an altered gut-liver-brain axis, however, the relative contribution of hepatic vagal innervation is unclear.

Pharmaceutical prokinetic and surgical interventions have opposing effects on gastroduodenal electromechanical coupling. [PDF]

Acta Physiol (Oxf)
Abstract Improper gastric emptying is implicated in several gastrointestinal disorders and may result from disrupted electromechanical coupling of the gastroduodenal junction (GDJ). Rhythmic “slow waves” and myogenic “spikes” are bioelectrical mechanisms that, alongside neural and hormonal co‐factors, control GDJ motility.

In Adult Rats With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Unilateral or Bilateral Vagotomy Modifies the Noradrenergic Concentration in the Ovaries and the Celiac Superior Mesenteric Ganglia in Different Ways

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
In rats with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) induced by estradiol valerate (EV) injection, sectioning of the vagus nerve in the juvenile stage restores ovulatory function, suggesting that the vagus nerve stimulates the onset and development of PCOS ...

Vagus nerve signal has an inhibitory influence on the development of peritoneal metastasis in murine gastric cancer [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The vagus nerve is the only pathway for transmitting parasympathetic signals between the brain and thoracoabdominal organs, thereby exhibiting anti-inflammatory functions through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.

Subdiaphragmatic Vagotomy With Pyloroplasty Ameliorates the Obesity Caused by Genetic Deletion of the Melanocortin 4 Receptor in the Mouse

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Background/Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that abolishing vagal nerve activity will reverse the obesity phenotype of melanocortin 4 receptor knockout mice (Mc4r−/−).Subjects/Methods: In two separate studies, we examined the efficacy of bilateral ...

The extracellular vesicle of depressive patient-derived Escherichia fergusonii induces vagus nerve-mediated neuroinflammation in mice [PDF]

Journal of Neuroinflammation
Background Gut microbiota dysbiosis is closely associated with psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety (DA). In our preliminary study, fecal microbiota transplantation from volunteers with psychological stress and subclinical symptoms of ...

GLP-1 Increases Circulating Leptin Levels in Truncal Vagotomized Rats

Biomedicines, 2023
GLP-1 is a gastro-intestinal hormone acting within the gut/brain axis for energy balance regulation. We aimed to evaluate the role of the vagus nerve in whole-body energy homeostasis and in mediating GLP-1 effects.

Predominant role of gut-vagus-brain neuronal pathway in postoperative nausea and vomiting: evidence from an observational cohort study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2021
Background Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) as a clinically most common postoperative complication requires multimodal antiemetic medications targeting at a wide range of neurotransmitter pathways. Lacking of neurobiological mechanism makes this ‘

Review of Perioperative Music Medicine: Mechanisms of Pain and Stress Reduction Around Surgery

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Clinical-experimental considerations and an approach to understanding the autonomic basis of improved surgical outcomes using Perioperative Music Medicine (PMM) are reviewed. Combined surgical, psycho-physiological, and experimental perspectives on Music
