Possible role of abdominal afferent vagal nerve in decrease in adrenal sympathetic nerve activity (ASNA) as a result of intragastric (IG) injection of Lactobacillus casei Shirota (LcS). (a) Typical raw data of ASNA before and after IG injection of LcS in a rat‐treated abdominal vagotomy (VND rat) or in a sham‐operated rat (sham rat). (b) Time‐course data of responses of ASNA to IG injection of LcS or heat‐killed LcS in rats treated vagotomy (VND rats) or in sham‐operated rats (sham rats). Values were expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. The numbers of animals used are shown in parentheses. The significance of difference between values of groups after injection was analyzed by anova. *P < 0.05 vs sham rats, LcS. #P < 0.05 vs sham rats, heat‐killed LcS.
