1 Here we hypothesized that famotidine activates the inflammatory reflex, a brain-integrated vagus nerve mechanism which inhibits inflammation via alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (alpha7nAChR) signal transduction, to prevent cytokine storm. Famotidine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
2 Either bilateral sub-diaphragmatic vagotomy or genetic knock-out of alpha7nAChR abolished the anti-inflammatory effects of famotidine, indicating the inflammatory reflex as famotidine"s mechanism of action. Famotidine cholinergic receptor, nicotinic, alpha polypeptide 7 Mus musculus
