Summary

Regional hemodynamic responses produced by renal afferent nerve stimulation (RANS) in rats are described. There responses were qualitatively similar to those produced by direct stimulation of the anteroventral third ventricle (AV3V).

A lesion of the AV3V, previously shown to prevent renal and mineralocorticoid hypertension, abolished the responses to RANS.

Deafferentation of the kidney by autotransplantation (AT) delayed the appearance of one-kidney (1-K) Grollman hypertension for two months. In contrast, AT did not affect the course of blood pressure elevation produced by deoxycorticosterone and salt (DOC-S).

These data suggest that renal afferent nerves, interacting with the region of the AV3V, may have a major role in the onset of 1-K Grollman hypertension, but do not appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of DOC-S hypertension.
