May preserve medullary oxygenation during moderate sympathetic activation; hypothesis-generating for renal denervation effects, needing human validation.
Renal medullary blood flow is less sensitive to the magnitude of renal sympathetic nerve activity than cortical blood flow, but more responsive to higher frequencies of neural stimulation.
Leonard et al. (2000) studied this question.
