Rapid Onset of Renal Sympathetic Nerve Activation in Rabbits Fed a High-Fat Diet
Abstract
Hypertension and elevated sympathetic drive result from consumption of a high-calorie diet and deposition of abdominal fat, but the etiology and temporal characteristics are unknown. Rabbits instrumented for telemetric recording of arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) were fed a high-fat diet for 3 weeks then control diet for 1 week or control diet for 4 weeks. Baroreflexes and responses to air-jet stress and hypoxia were determined weekly. After 1 week of high-fat diet, caloric intake increased by 62%, accompanied by elevated body weight, blood glucose, plasma insulin, and leptin (8%, 14%, 134%, and 252%, respectively). Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and RSNA also increased after 1 week (6%, 11%, and 57%, respectively). Whereas mean arterial pressure and body weight continued to rise over 3 weeks of high-fat diet, heart rate and RSNA did not change further. The RSNA baroreflex was attenuated from the first week of the diet. Excitatory responses to air-jet stress diminished over 3 weeks of high-fat diet, but responses to hypoxia were invariant. Resumption of a normal diet returned glucose, insulin, leptin, and heart rate to control levels, but body weight, mean arterial pressure, and RSNA remained elevated. In conclusion, elevated sympathetic drive and impaired baroreflex function, which occur within 1 week of consumption of a high-fat, high-calorie diet, appear integral to the rapid development of obesity-related hypertension. Increased plasma leptin and insulin may contribute to the initiation of hypertension but are not required for maintenance of mean arterial pressure, which likely lies in alterations in the response of neurons in the hypothalamus.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In conscious rabbits, a high-fat, high-calorie diet increased renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA), heart rate, and mean arterial pressure within 1 week, alongside rapid rises in glucose, insulin, and leptin. Withdrawal of the diet normalized glucose, insulin, leptin, and heart rate, but body weight, mean arterial pressure, and RSNA remained elevated.
Key findings
- After 1 week of high-fat diet, caloric intake rose by 62%, and body weight, blood glucose, plasma insulin, and leptin increased by 8%, 14%, 134%, and 252%, respectively; mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and RSNA increased by 6%, 11%, and 57%, respectively.
- Mean arterial pressure and body weight continued to rise over 3 weeks of high-fat diet, whereas heart rate and RSNA did not change further; the RSNA baroreflex was attenuated from week 1, with the lower plateau 92% higher and range 29% lower at week 3, and gain 48% lower at week 3.
- Excitatory responses to air-jet stress diminished over 3 weeks of high-fat diet (RSNA response −70% at week 3), but responses to hypoxia were invariant.
- After return to normal diet, glucose, insulin, leptin, and heart rate returned to control levels, but body weight, mean arterial pressure, and RSNA remained elevated; ganglion blockade produced a greater fall in mean arterial pressure in high-fat-diet rabbits (−23±2 mm Hg, n=5) than controls (−13±2 mm Hg, n=4; P group=0.014).
Methods
- Experiments used 33 male New Zealand white rabbits (body weight 2.6–3.3 kg) instrumented under isoflurane anesthesia with telemetric arterial pressure recording and renal nerve electrodes; after recovery, baseline mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and RSNA were measured.
- Rabbits were randomized to a normal-fat control diet (n=10) or high-fat diet (n=13) for 3 weeks, then the high-fat group returned to control diet for 1 week; diets were standard rabbit chow (4.2% fat, 2.63 kcal/g) or modified chow (13.3% fat, 3.34 kcal/g).
- Weekly measurements included responses to air-jet stress and hypoxia, RSNA and heart rate baroreflexes derived from phenylephrine and sodium nitroprusside infusions, blood glucose, plasma insulin and leptin, and at week 3 ganglion blockade with pentolinium; data were analyzed by split-plot repeated-measures ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and Bonferroni/Greenhouse-Geisser corrections, with P<0.05 significant.
Limitations
- The paper states that RSNA signal decay after approximately 5 weeks of recording meant only 3 to 4 rabbits per group had viable RSNA at week 4.
- The paper does not include a dedicated limitations section; evident from the text, some measures used small subsets (caloric intake n=4–5 per group, plasma insulin n=5 per group, plasma leptin n=4 control and 8 high-fat-diet rabbits, RSNA n=8 control and 6 high-fat-diet rabbits through week 3).
- Evident from the text, the study used only male rabbits and an acute fat-feeding model, and it did not directly establish causality for leptin, insulin, or other proposed mechanisms maintaining elevated mean arterial pressure and RSNA after diet withdrawal.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
