Methods and results: Rats were subjected to bilateral cervical vagotomy (VGX) or sham surgical procedures. Hem shock was induced by intermittent withdrawal of blood until mean arterial pressure stabilized within the range of 35 to 40 mm Hg. Application of constant voltage pulses to the caudal vagus ends (STIM; 5 V, 2 ms, 1 Hz for 12 minutes, 5 minutes after meaning arterial pressure stabilization) increased survival time (VGX+Hem+Sham STIM=38+/-3 minutes; VGX+Hem+STIM >180 minutes), reverted the marked hypotension (VGX+Hem+Sham STIM=33+/-3 mm Hg; VGX+Hem+STIM=66+/-5 mm Hg), inhibited IkappaBalpha liver loss, and blunted the augmented NF-kappaB activity, decreased hepatic tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha mRNA (VGX+Hem+Sham STIM=1.42+/-0.5 amount of TNF-alpha mRNA; VGX+Hem+STIM=0.51+/-0.2 amount of TNF-alpha mRNA), and reduced plasma TNF-alpha (VGX+Hem+Sham STIM=190+/-24 pg/mL; VGX+Hem+STIM=87+/-15 pg/mL). Chlorisondamine, a nicotinic receptor antagonist, abated the effects of vagal stimulation.
Conclusions: Our results show a parasympathetic inhibition of NF-kappaB by which the brain opposes NF-kappaB activation in the liver and modulates the inflammatory response during acute hypovolemic hemorrhagic shock

She could either have one child with AB, two children with B, and one child with A (genotypes: AB, BB, Ai, Bi), or have two children with B and two children with AB (genotypes: AB, AB, BB, BB).
Water from nearby rivers or lakes is usually use to cool down the reactors in nuclear power plants the release of this heated water back into the river or lake would most likely result in a change in the variety of life in the waters. It would change since life in that area should adapt to the change in the temperature due to the nuclear reactor.
Answer:
Organisms interact with each other and their environment in ecosystems. The role of consumers in an ecosystem is to obtain energy by feeding on other organisms and sometimes transfer energy to other consumers. Changes that affect consumers can impact other organisms within the ecosystem.
