Acute stress selectively augments renal sympathetic activity in specific hypertensive rat models; leaves open translation to human hypertension.
Does acute environmental stress affect renal sympathetic nerve activity in different rat models of hypertension?
Acute environmental stress increases renal sympathetic nerve activity specifically in hypertensive rat models, with power spectrum and peak detection analyses providing additional mechanistic insights beyond mean integrated voltage.
