Why the study?
Does neural stimulation induce renal release of renin in anesthetized dogs independent of renal perfusion pressure or flow?
Population

Renal nerve activity may drive renin release without hemodynamic shifts; extends mechanistic models but leaves open human relevance.
Does neural stimulation induce renal release of renin in anesthetized dogs independent of renal perfusion pressure or flow?
This study demonstrates that neural stimuli can directly cause the release of renin independent of changes in renal perfusion pressure or blood flow.
Buñag et al. (1966) studied this question.
