Differentiation of vasoactive renal sympathetic nerve fibres.
Activation of renal sympathetic nerves produces marked changes in renal haemodynamics, tubular ion and water transport and renin secretion. This review examines information indicating that these effects are mediated by functionally specific groups of renal sympathetic nerve fibres separately innervating the renal vessels, tubules and juxtaglomerular granular cells.
