A2 noradrenergic lesions prevent renal sympathoinhibition induced by hypernatremia in rats.

Renal vasodilation and sympathoinhibition are recognized responses induced by hypernatremia, but the central neural pathways underlying such responses are not yet entirely understood. Several findings suggest that A2 noradrenergic neurons, which are found in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS),...
