Tubuloglomerular feedback responses of the downstream efferent resistance: unmasking a role for adenosine?
Abstract
This Commentary aims to integrate or interrelate the available in vivo data with the in vitro study by Ren and co-workers, which comes to the somewhat surprising conclusion that tubuloglomerular feedback activation vasodilates the efferent arteriole by an adenosine-dependent mechanism.
