    Abstract:
    The effect of electrical stimulation of afferent renal nerve (ARN) on cardiovascular response, the synthesis and release of vasopressin were studied in rabbits. During the course of the experiment, the pathway of ARN to central nerve system was also analyzed. The results showed that electrical stimulation of ARN elicited significantly decrease of mean arteral blood pressure and heart rate as well as inhibition of cervical sympathetic nerve activity. In the event of the above physiological changes, the AVP concentration in supraoptic nucleus (SON), paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and plasma was increased, but that in hypophysis was decreased. Injection of sodium nitropruside (SNP) or AVPa indicated that increase of AVP release was due directly to stimulation of ARN. Nodose ganglionectomy or transversal section of spinal cord at different levels suggested that the main afferent pathway of ARN to higher level of central nerve system entered into spinal cord at T5-L2.
