Figure 2

Model predictions of renal blood flow and filtration compared to data from Dahl S (SS) rats on high-salt and low-salt diets and Dahl R (SR) rats on high-salt diets. Data on renal flow, filtration rate, glomerular pressure, and pertibular efferent pressure are plotted as circles for SS high-salt fed animals, triangles for SS low-salt fed animals, and filled squares for SR animals. Model predictions based on the parameter values from Table 1 are compared to observed data. The difference between the high-salt and low-salt case is captured primarily by differences in afferent arterial resistance control parameters. Data in panel A are obtained from Figure 1 of Roman [12]; panel B from Figure five of Roman [12]; panel C and D from Figure six of Roman [12].
