FA 2015 says "macula densa cells sense decrease NaCl delivery to DCT => adenosine release => vasoconstriction" on page 535. Is this an error?

Because wikipedia says adenosine is released in response to increased NaCl in the DCT, and I thought renin is the one thats released due to low NaCl in the DCT.

Yes, that was corrected in FA2016.
