Abstract:Renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) is important in hypertension, volume disorders or renal disease. It is unclear if increases of RSNA in disease are due to sympathoexcitatory or impaired sympathoinhibitory renal afferent nerves. We present data from nephritic rats suggesting the latter.Nephritis due to OX7‐antibodies. Methohexital anesthetized nephritic rats & controls instrumented to stimulate renal afferent nerve activity (ARNA) in order to influence RSNA: ipsilateral renal arterial catheter for in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
