In conscious rabbits, the renal vasodilator effect of rilmenidine depends on sympathetic nerve activity, whereas captopril induces vasodilation independently of sympathetic tone and impairs renal autoregulation.

Rabbit model shows sympathetic dependence distinguishes rilmenidine from captopril renal effects; leaves open human translation and selective therapy trials.
Janssen et al. (2002) studied this question.
