Abstract:
Proinflammatory cytokines induced by peripheral immune challenge can activate the inflammatory reflex, which results in negative-feedback control of inflammation .Some recent studies revealed that it is the splanchnic nerve , not the vagus nerve , to constitute the efferent arm of the inflammatory reflex .Further researches are needed to iden-tify the neural construction and regulatory mechanism of the inflammatory reflex , which might be harnessed for the treatment of inflammation and the development of anti-inflammatory drugs .
