TLDR
HRP injections into the rat liver yielded labeling of large and small neurons in the left nodose ganglion only, which indicates that most of the afferent fibers are of vagal origin, and that different receptors are located in different parts of the liver.About:

Afferent and efferent neural roles in liver function.
TL;DR: This study presents a meta-analysis of hepatic regeneration through the role of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, which assesses the importance of these nerves in normal nerve functions and their role in hepatic vasculature.

TL;DR: Liver transplant subjects have normal postabsorptive glucose metabolism, and glucose and insulin challenge elicit normal response at both hepatic and peripheral sites, and defective counterregulation during hypoglycemia may reflect an alteration of the liver-CNS-islet circuit which is due to denervation of the transplanted graft.

The hepatic vagus nerve and the neural regulation of insulin secretion.
King C. Lee,Ralph E. Miller +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the hepatic vagus nerve plays a role in the regulation of insulin secretion, consistent with the hypothesis that afferent fibers in this nerve exert a tonic inhibition on the brainstem centers of an efferent vagal pancreatic neuroendocrine system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central connections of the hepatic branch of the vagus nerve: a horseradish peroxidase histochemical study
TL;DR: By carefully exposing and dissecting the hepatic branch of the vagus and applying crystalline horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to it, a predominant pattern of afferent terminations within the left subnucleus gelatinosus, the medial division of the left solitary nucleus and the left lateral edge of the area postrema is elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The sensory innervation of the ovary: a horseradish peroxidase study in the rat.
TL;DR: Injections of horseradish peroxidase into the right or left ovary of the rat produced labeling of perikarya in both nodose ganglia and ipsilateral dorsal root ganglia from T10 to L2, suggesting that visceral afferent fibers from the ovary may mediate visceral reflexes that modulate ovarian function.

Tetramethyl benzidine for horseradish peroxidase neurohistochemistry: a non-carcinogenic blue reaction product with superior sensitivity for visualizing neural afferents and efferents.:
TL;DR: The sensitivity of this new method in demonstrating retrograde transport is markedly superior to that of the previously described benzidine dihydrochloride method and, as a consequence, many efferent connections of the injection site are also visualized.

Functional and histological studies of the vagus nerve and its branches to the heart, lungs and abdominal viscera in the cat
TL;DR: Daly & Evans (1953) studied the effects of electrical stimulation of the caudal cut end of the cervical vagus nerve in the cat after chronic division at various levels and demonstrated further that the vagus nerves as they enter are afferent in function.

Afferent impulse discharges from glucoreceptors in the liver of the guinea pig.
TL;DR: The author has tried to confirm the existence of a hepatic glucoreceptor by recording the afferent discharge from the nerve to the liver by studying the function of receptors in the wall of the stomach and intestine by recording of afferent discharges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatic nerves: a review of their functions and effects.
TL;DR: If one is to embark upon the study of nerve effects in an organ as complex as the liver one must appreciate that there are many interacting effects that must be understood and that some areas of conflict need to be resolved.
