Effect of vagus nerve stimulation on blood glucose concentration in epilepsy patients – Importance of stimulation parameters

Abstract In previous animal experiments, we demonstrated that cervical vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) inhibits pancreatic insulin secretion, thereby raises blood glucose levels, and impairs glucose tolerance through afferent signaling. However, there are no reports suggesting that similar effects occ...
