The influences of sequential baroafferent denervation on the stimulus–response curves between the changes in MAP and the absolute RSNA values in response to phenylephrine and nitroprusside. a Sequential denervation of the aortic nerves followed by denervation of the carotid sinus nerves (AoN–CSN) in one rat. b Sequential denervation of the carotid sinus nerves followed by denervation of the aortic nerves (CSN–AoN) in another rat. The RSNA value at the point (∆MAP = −10 mmHg) in the intact condition of the CSN–AoN rat was removed due to involvement of an artifact
