  • Title: Unilateral vagotomy inhibits compensatory kidney growth after unilateral nephrectomy in rats.
    Author: Gerendai I, Nemeskéri A, Halász B.
    Journal: Acta Physiol Hung; 1986; 68(2):171-3. PubMed ID: 3825553.
    Abstract:
    The effect of unilateral vagotomy on compensatory renal growth that follows unilateral nephrectomy was studied. Unilateral vagotomy inhibited the usual compensatory growth of the remaining kidney. Unilateral vagotomy did not effect kidney weight in animals with two kidneys. Data indicate that the vagus nerve is involved in the development of compensatory kidney hypertrophy.
