Afferent and efferent cardiac neurotransmission via the cardiac nerves intricately modulates
nearly all physiological functions of the heart (chronotropy, dromotropy, lusitropy, and …

The renal nerves are the communication link between the central nervous system and the
kidney. In response to multiple peripheral and central inputs, efferent renal sympathetic …

Increased activity of the sympathetic nervous system has been described in chronic renal
failure, but its role in the genesis and maintenance of hypertension associated with this …

The kidney is innervated with efferent sympathetic nerve fibers that directly contact the
vasculature, the renal tubules, and the juxtaglomerular granular cells. Via specific …

Efferent renal innervation is composed of postganglionic sympathetic fibers to the renal
arterioles, juxtaglomerular apparatus, and renal tubules. Increased efferent renal …

The sympathetic nervous system plays a pivotal role in the long-term regulation of arterial
blood pressure through the ability of the central nervous system to integrate neurohumoral …

Neuronal elements distributed throughout the cardiac nervous system, from the level of the
insular cortex to the intrinsic cardiac nervous system, are in constant communication with …

Rats with 5 6 nephrectomy develop hypertension and progressive deterioration in renal
function. Several mechanisms may contribute to hypertension and to progressive renal …

Whether activation of afferent renal nerves contributes to the regulation of arterial pressure
and sodium balance has been long overlooked. In normotensive rats, activating renal …

Intrarenal injection of phenol in rats causes a persistent elevation in blood pressure (BP)
and in norepinephrine (NE) secretion from the posterior hypothalamus (PH), and …
