STUDIES IN RENAL CIRCULATION DURING PERIODS OF LIFE STRESS AND ACCOMPANYING EMOTIONAL REACTIONS IN SUBJECTS WITH AND WITHOUT ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION; OBSERVATIONS ON THE ROLE OF NEURAL ACTIVITY IN REGULATION OF RENAL BLOOD FLOW

A preliminary report of some of these observations has already been made (1). This communication is a more complete statement of the experimental data and inferences concerning renal circulation. Special appreciation and acknowledgement are due Drs. Stewart Wolf and Herbert S. Ripley who are entirely responsible for the creation of the situations and feeling states that were necessary to the conduct of these experiments. A fuller statement of the types of conflict induced by interviews in these studies as well as the personality factors and reaction patterns pertinent to the problem of essential hypertension will be published at a later date.
