Clamping of the renal vessels gives rise to a reflex change of circulation at the level of the vascular zone innervated by the splanchnic nerves.
Bilateral cutting of the splanchnic nerves and of the inferior part of the sympathetic chain at the level of the thorax prevents the reflex, and annuls the protective action of clamping the vascular pedicles of the kidney.
Renal lesions are not absolutely necessary for the production of alloxan diabetes, but may aggravate diabetes, probably by adding the toxic effects of retention of urine.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
