title: Comparison of the effect of vasopressin infusions on the mesenteric arteries of different species.
abstract: Superior mesenteric arteriography was performed following infusions of vasopressin, epinephrine and saline into the superior mesenteric arteries of dogs, pigs, rabbits and monkeys and compared with the well-known effects in human beings. Species-specific effects were noted and compared with the known differences in various vascular beds in human beings. In non-primate animals, vasopressin appeared to act at a more distal site than in primates, but with a similar decrease in superior mesenteric arterial flow. The results in primates were similar to those in human beings.
