(A) Example of mean (grey line) and pulsatile ABP, heart rate and rectified/integrated (1s time constant) lumbar, renal, and splanchnic SNA during electrical stimulation of aortic depressor nerve (10Hz, 15 s duration) in rats fed 0.1% or 4.0% NaCl diets. (B) Mean±SEM of peak (1s) changes reflect greater decreases in ABP, heart rate, and splanchnic and renal SNA of rats fed 4.0% versus 0.1% NaCl diets. The greater responses were absent in AV3V-lesioned rats. *P<0.05, 0.1% versus 4.0% NaCl in control/sham rats; #P<0.05, control versus AV3V-lesioned rats fed 4.0% NaCl
