The splanchnic anti-inflammatory pathway: could it be the efferent arm of the inflammatory reflex?

abstract：NEW FINDINGS:What is the central question of this study? β-Adrenergic receptor activation modulates cutaneous vasodilatation and sweating in young adults. In this study, we assessed whether age-related differences in β-adrenergic regulation of these responses exist and whether they differ between men and women. What is...
