Abstract:
:Previously published data have indicated that in the rat, unlike other species examined, the kidney is not supplied by sensory nerves containing substance P (SP). As part of a study of reflex control of renal function in the rat, we have now reassessed this situation. Many fine, varicose, SP-immunoreactive nerve fibers were found in the wall of the proximal ureter and the renal pelvis, and around the larger renal blood vessels. Sparser populations of similar nerves were also seen running close to proximal and distal tubules in the renal cortex. Occasional fibers were seen at the margins of the glomeruli. Our findings suggest that sensory nerves containing SP may carry sensory information of several types from the rat kidney.
