Why the study?
The study sought to determine the contribution of renal sympathetic nerves to intrapelvic GLP-1-mediated diuresis and natriuresis in high-fat diet-induced obese rats.
Renal sympathetic nerve activation blunts the diuretic and natriuretic effects of GLP-1 in diet-induced obese rats, an effect reversible by renal denervation or neprilysin inhibition.
