Vagal nerve stimulation protects cardiac injury by attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction in a murine burn injury model

Mitochondria play a central role in the integration and execution of a wide variety of apoptotic signals. In the present study, we examined the deleterious effects of burn injury on heart tissue. We explored the effects of vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) on cardiac injury in a murine burn injury model...
