Blood glucose modulation and safety of efferent vagus nerve stimulation in a type 2 diabetic rat model

Abstract Vagus nerve stimulation is emerging as a promising treatment for type 2 diabetes. Here, we evaluated the ability of stimulation of the vagus nerve to reduce glycemia in awake, freely moving metabolically compromised rats. A model of type 2 diabetes (n = 10) was induced using a high‐fat diet...
