[Adrenergic innervation of the kidneys in man and various laboratory animals].
By means of the neurohistochemical method for slice incubation in 2% solution of glyoxylic acid, innervation of the kidneys of a 57-year-old man after a sudden cardiac death has been investigated, as well as innervation of the kidneys in white rat, rabbit, guinea pig and cat. A rich adrenergic innervation in the organ's blood vessels has been revealed. In particular, adrenergic nervous fibers have been found along the course of afferent glomerular arterioles. Together with innervation of the proximal and distal convoluted tubules, a high density of the terminal adrenergic nervous plexus is revealed along the course of the nephron loops. Adrenergic nervous plexuses of high density are found in the area of the initial part of the urinary excretory pathways and their connection with nervous plexuses of the kidney itself.
