Randomized controlled trials of blood pressure lowering in hypertension: a critical reappraisal.

abstract：:Mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors have been identified inside the kidney, but their functional role is still largely unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether changes in urine output could modify the discharge rate of renal afferent fibers. Experiments were performed in anesthetized cats in which aff...
