Meanings of anti-inflammatory pathway in English

Studies suggest that pro-inflammatory cytokines may be attenuated by the vagus nerve through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.

Central to this approach is the inflammatory reflex pathway in which the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway represents the efferent limb.

The main focus is the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, which we recently described as a novel function of the efferent vagus nerve.

Termed the 'cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway', therapeutic activation of this innate physiological response holds enormous promise for the treatment of inflammatory disease.

We have thus identified a unique anti-inflammatory pathway that can limit induction of innate-type allergic airway inflammation mediated by NH cells.

In this review, we examine proposed models of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and attempt to frame our recent results in relation to these hypotheses.

Taken together, these results suggest that an ultrasound-based treatment could have therapeutic potential for the prevention of AKI, possibly by stimulating a splenic anti-inflammatory pathway.

Last, blockade or genetic deficiency of the a7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor abrogated the protective effect of ultrasound, suggesting the involvement of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.

We tested the hypothesis that oral NaHCO 3 intake stimulates splenic anti-inflammatory pathways.

CD163, the recently identified scavenger receptor for extracellular hemoglobin, promotes the activation of anti-inflammatory pathways, opening the gates for novel therapeutic approaches.

Interestingly, anti-inflammatory pathways are also activated in brain in response to stress, constituting a possible endogenous mechanism of defence against excessive inflammation.
