Figure 4. VNS 24 hours before IRI suppresses IRI-induced increases in circulating TNF-α.
Mice underwent VNS or sham stimulation surgery 24 hours prior to IRI or sham IRI surgery. VNS applied 24 hours before IRI suppressed IRI-induced increases in circulating TNF. n = 6. Data were analyzed using 1-way ANOVA. Means were compared by post hoc multiple-comparison test (Tukey’s). *P < 0.05.
