Systolic blood pressure (SBP). Renal denervation induced a comparable reduction in SBP in SHR compared to the vehicle group. Cilnidipine treatment significantly decreased SBP compared to the vehicle group, whereas there were no differences between the denervated and innervated groups. All rats were uninephrectomized and fed the 4% NaCl–containing diet. *P < 0.05 vs. WKY, #P < 0.05 vs. the vehicle group. WKY: Wistar Kyoto rat, DNX: denervation.
