Key result
Chemical removal of the renal medulla partially inhibited the fall in blood pressure following surgical correction of Goldblatt hypertension in rats.
Why the study?
Does the renal medulla play a role in the reversal of renovascular hypertension in rats?
Does the renal medulla play a role in the reversal of renovascular hypertension in rats?
The renal medulla appears to contain a vasodepressor system that contributes to blood pressure reduction following surgical correction of renovascular hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Renal medulla may aid BP normalization after renovascular correction; hypothesis-generating in rats and leaves open human relevance.
Swales et al. (1987) studied Renovascular hypertension. Chemical medullectomy using 2-bromo-ethylamine hydrobromide was evaluated on Blood pressure. Chemical removal of the renal medulla partially inhibited the fall in blood pressure following surgical correction of Goldblatt hypertension in rats.
