CNS: central nervous system
In addition to microglia, there are other immune cell populations in the CNS, including peripheral immune cells such as T-cells and monocytes, a small number of which transiently survey the CNS during homeostasis (Prinz and Priller, 2017)
The sensitivity of the vagal nerve to estradiol fluctuates through the estrous cycle, as ER expression changes in response to circulating estradiol levels (140)
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and sodiumglucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) both provide cardiovascular benefit, although their clinical profiles differ as SGLT2 inhibitors have shown greater reductions in HF hospitalization, whereas GLP-1 receptor agonists appear particularly effective in reducing atherosclerotic events such as stroke [5, 6]
