Renorenal vasomotor reflex.
The acetylcholine induced contralateral renorenal vasomotor reflex has been re-examined. In dogs under pentobarbital anaesthesia blood flow of the contralateral kidney as measured by electromagnetic flow probe did not change after an infusion or bolus injection of Ach. Basal sympathetic nervous activity of the contralateral kidney increased only slightly and these changes correlated with the decrease of arterial blood pressure. In conclusion, the renorenal vasomotor reflex could not be evoked under the present experimental conditions.
