Electrical stimulation facilitates NADPH production in pentose phosphate pathway and exerts an anti-inflammatory effect in macrophages

Abstract Macrophages play an important role as effector cells in innate immune system. Meanwhile, macrophages activated in a pro-inflammatory direction alter intracellular metabolism and damage intact tissues by increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Electrical stimulation (ES), a predominant phy...
