Water intake (a) and urinary excretion (b) after oral L-arginine (L-arg) administration to the SHAM, two-kidney one-clip, and denervated groups. The groups are as follows: SHAM: normotensive control; 2K1C: two-kidney one-clip; 2K1C + L-arg: two-kidney one-clip treated with L-arginine; DN: denervated normotensive; 2K1C + DN: denervated two-kidney one-clip; and 2K1C + DN + L-arg: denervated two-kidney one-clip treated with L-arginine. The data are shown for 7 days of L-arg administration. Data are reported as the means ± SEM. and compared with SHAM; and compared with 2K1C; compared with DN; compared with 2K1C + L-arg (Tukey test).
