[Effects of a beta-adrenergic blocking drug, atenolol, on efferent renal nerve activity in rabbits (author's transl)]
Abstract
Postganglionic sympathetic nerve activity (renal nerve) decreased significantly during i.v. infusion of a beta-adrenergic blocking drug, atenolol, in anesthetized rabbits. This phenomenon, at least in part reflex in nature, may contribute to the hypotensive effect of atenolol.
