Why the study?
Does mental stress alter urinary sodium excretion and renal sympathetic activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats compared to normotensive rats?
Does mental stress alter urinary sodium excretion and renal sympathetic activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats compared to normotensive rats?
In spontaneously hypertensive rats, mental stress causes a marked reduction in urinary sodium excretion driven by intense renal sympathetic activation, a response that is abolished by renal denervation.

Renal sympathetic targeting may modulate stress-sodium responses in hypertension models; leaves open human translation.
