Chronic unilateral cervical vagotomy reduces renal inflammation, blood pressure, and renal injury in a mouse model of lupus.

CONCLUSION: In summary, these data indicate that unilateral vagotomy reduces renal inflammation and reduces blood pressure in SLE mice. The vagus nerves have myriad functions and perhaps other neuroimmune interactions compensate for the ligation of one nerve. PMID: 32538149 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
