An example time-series obtained from one rat. The carotid sinus pressure (CSP) was changed in a stepwise manner with a step duration of 90 s. Sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and arterial pressure (AP) decreased in response to CSP when the CSP was above 140 mmHg. Gray and black lines in the SNA plot indicate 10-Hz resampled and 2-s moving average signals, respectively. Gray and black lines in the AP plot indicate 200-Hz resampled and 2-s moving average signals, respectively. Urine volume (UV) is displayed as a 10-Hz resampled signal. The UV was greater on the renal denervation (RDN) side compared with the intact (INT) side, and the difference increased as time elapsed
