Key result
Renal nerve stimulation and noradrenaline infusion increased the afferent discharge rate from renal arterial mechanoreceptors in rabbits, suggesting an efferent control mechanism by a vasomotor reflex.
The study suggests an efferent control mechanism on the activity of renal arterial mechanoreceptors via a vasomotor reflex.

Does not alter clinical practice; hypothesis-generating for efferent vasomotor control of renal afferents in humans.
Akira Niijima (1972) studied this question. Renal nerve stimulation and noradrenaline infusion was evaluated on Afferent discharge rate from renal arterial mechanoreceptors. Renal nerve stimulation and noradrenaline infusion increased the afferent discharge rate from renal arterial mechanoreceptors in rabbits, suggesting an efferent control mechanism by a vasomotor reflex.
