Liver afferents contribute to water drinking-induced sympathetic activation in human subjects: a clinical trial.

Liver afferents contribute to water drinking-induced sympathetic activation in human subjects: a clinical trial.

Water drinking acutely increases sympathetic activity in human subjects. In animals, the response appears to be mediated through transient receptor potential channel TRPV4 activation on osmosensitive hepatic spinal afferents, described as osmopressor response. We hypothesized that hepatic denervatio...
