Abstract
The endogenous enhancement of neurotensin, an endogenous tridecapeptide, has anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-psychotic, neuroleptic and analgesic activity. Exogenous administration of neurotensin causes several side effects. The present invention provides electrical stimulation to increase endogenous neurotensin levels, which provides the benefits of neurotensin without eliciting the unwanted side effects.
