Does not demonstrate reflex control of renal function from afferents in cats; leaves open any role in human cardiorenal disease.
Does afferent renal nerve stimulation affect renal hemodynamic and excretory functions in anesthetized cats?
Electrical stimulation of renal afferent fibers in cats does not demonstrate a reflex control of renal function from renal afferents.
Stella et al. (1984) studied this question.
