Elevated renal afferent nerve activity in a rat model of endothelin B receptor deficiency

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Here, we found that endothelin B receptors are an important contributor to renal afferent nerve responsiveness to a high-salt diet. Rats lacking endothelin B receptors have increased afferent nerve activity that is not responsive to a high-salt diet.
