The kidney displays highly efficient autoregulation so that under steady-state conditions
renal blood flow (RBF) is independent of blood pressure over a wide range of pressure. …

Heart and kidney interactions are fascinating, in the sense that failure of the one organ
strongly affects the function of the other. In this review paper, we analyze how principal driving …

Tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) has an important role in autoregulation of renal blood flow
and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Because of the characteristics of signal transmission in …

To perform their functions, the kidneys maintain stable blood perfusion in the face of
fluctuations in systemic BP. This is done through autoregulation of blood flow by the generic …

Two mechanisms operating at 0.03-0.05 and 0.1-0.2 Hz are involved in autoregulation of
renal blood flow (RBF). To examine the behavior of the faster system, the response of RBF to …

Nonselective inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) augments myogenic autoregulation,
an action that implies enhancement of pressure-induced constriction and dilatation. This …

… 22 Wang X, Cupples WA. Interaction between nitric oxide and renal myogenic
autoregulation in normotensive and hypertensive rats. Can J Physiol Pharmacol 2001; 79:238–245 …

Renal autoregulation is mediated by tubuloglomerular feedback, operating at 0.03–0.05 Hz,
and a faster system, operating at 0.1–0.2 Hz, that has been attributed by exclusion to …

The Brown Norway (BN) rat is normotensive and has an extended lifespan but is extremely
sensitive to hypertension-induced renal injury. Relative impairment of autoregulation has …

Previous studies have shown that renal autoregulation dynamically stabilizes renal blood
flow (RBF). The role of renal nerves, particularly of a baroreflex component, in dynamic …
