    Notes: 1. The renal nerves constrict the renal vasculature, causing decreases in renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Whether renal haemodynamics are influenced by changes in renal nerve activity within the physiological range is a matter of debate.2. We have identified two morphologically distinct populations of nerves within the kidney, which are differentially distributed to the renal afferent and efferent arterioles. Type I nerves almost exclusively innervate the afferent arteriole whereas type II nerves are distributed equally on the afferent and efferent arterioles. We have also demonstrated that type II nerves are immunoreactive for neuropeptide Y, whereas type I nerves are not.3. This led us to hypothesize that, in the kidney, distinct populations of nerves innervate specific effector tissues and that these nerves may be selectively activated, setting the basis for the differential neural control of GFR. In physiological studies, we demonstrated that differential changes in glomerular capillary pressure occurred in response to graded reflex activation of the renal nerves, compatible with our hypothesis.4. Thus, sympathetic outflow may be capable of selectively increasing or decreasing glomerular capillary pressure and, hence, GFR by differentially activating separate populations of renal nerves. This has important implications for our understanding of the neural control of body fluid balance in health and disease.

    Notes: 1. The neonatal/preweaning period appears to represent a critical period of involvement of the sympathetic nervous system in the development of hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).2. We tested whether α1-adrenoceptor-mediated effects during the preweaning period are involved in the development of hypertension in the adult SHR.3. Male SHR were treated with the α1-adrenoceptor antagonist doxazosin (10 mg/kg per day, s.c.) from postnatal day 1 to 21 inclusive. Direct conscious blood pressure and heart rate were measured via the caudal artery at 12 weeks of age.4. Preweaning treatment with doxazosin had no significant effect on mean arterial blood pressure or heart rate in male SHR at 12 weeks of age.5. These findings do not support the involvement of α1-adrenoceptor-mediated effects during the preweaning period in the development of hypertension in adult SHR.
