The role of inflammatory cytokines in anemia and gastrointestinal mucosal injury induced by foot electric stimulation

Abstract Foot electrical stimulation (FES) has been considered as a classic stressor that can disturb homeostasis. Acute anemia was observed in the model induced by FES. The aim of this study was to explore the role of inflammatory cytokines underlying the acute anemia and gastrointestinal (GI) muco...
