[Role of the splanchnic nerves in regulating maximal glucose transport in the kidneys]

Glomerular filtration in the kidney decreases at side of the splanchnic nerve stimulation; as to the maximal glucose reabsorption -- it remains unchanged. After demedullation of the adrenal glands stimulation of the splanchnic nerve increases the filtration in the contralateral kidney, without altering the maximal glucose transport. Adrenergic fibers of the splanchnic nerve produce no direct action on the maximal glucose transport in the kidneys.
