Open-loop analysis on sympathetically mediated arterial pressure and urine output responses in spontaneously hypertensive rats: effect of renal denervation

Table 2 Effects of unilateral renal denervation (RDN) on normalized urine flow (nUF)

	INT	RDN	P value
Slope of nUF versus SNA, μL min⁻¹ kg⁻¹ %⁻¹	0.168 ± 0.042	0.264 ± 0.059	0.055
Intercept of nUF versus SNA, μL min⁻¹ kg⁻¹	9.2 ± 3.8	3.8 ± 5.3	0.301
Slope of nUF versus AP, μL min⁻¹ kg⁻¹ mmHg⁻¹	0.120 ± 0.031	0.179 ± 0.025	0.098
Intercept of nUF versus AP, μL min⁻¹ kg⁻¹	9.4 ± 3.6	4.4 ± 3.0	0.301
nUF at the operating-point AP, μL min⁻¹ kg⁻¹	25.3 ± 1.9	29.0 ± 1.8	0.055

Data are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 9 rats). INT, intact side; SNA, sympathetic nerve activity; AP, arterial pressure. P values were calculated by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test
