Double-wavelet analysis revealed a significantly stronger interaction between myogenic and tubulo-glomerular dynamics in spontaneously hypertensive rats compared to normotensive rats.
Double-wavelet analysis can effectively quantify the strength of modulation in nonstationary multimode data, demonstrating stronger physiological interactions in hypertensive rat nephrons.
Stronger coupling in hypertensive rat nephrons is hypothesis-generating; extends wavelet analysis but leaves open human translation.
On the basis of double-wavelet analysis, the paper proposes a method to study interactions in the form of frequency and amplitude modulation in nonstationary multimode data series. Special emphasis is given to the problem of quantifying the strength of modulation for a fast signal by a coexisting slower dynamics and to its physiological interpretation. Application of the approach is demonstrated for a number of model systems, including a model that generates chaotic dynamics. The approach is then applied to proximal tubular pressure data from rat nephrons in order to estimate the degree to which the myogenic dynamics of the afferent arteriole is modulated by the slower tubulo-glomerular dynamics. Our analysis reveals a significantly stronger interaction between the two mechanisms in spontaneously hypertensive rats than in normotensive rats.
