Figure 5.
ICV infusion of 0.6M or 1.0M NaCl produced significantly greater increases in mean ABP and lumbar SNA of rats fed 4.0% versus 0.1% NaCl. Lesion of the AV3V significantly attenuated these responses and abolished the differences between rats fed 0.1% versus 4.0% NaCl chow. *P<0.05 versus 0.1% NaCl; #P<0.05, 0.6M versus 1.0M NaCl within same diet; †P<0.05 versus control rats.
