Content of vasopressin in the neurohypophysis of long-term dehydrated rats as influenced by carbachol treatment.
Content of vasopressin in the neurohypophysis of long-term dehydrated rats as influenced by carbachol treatment. Acta Physiol. Pol., 1977, 28 (1): 71-75. Rats dehydrated up to 12 days were treated with carbachol given intraperitoneally in daily doses of 20 microng/100 g of the initial body weight. Under extreme dehydration (8 and 12 days) the vasopressin depletion in the neurohypophysis was significantly inhibited in the carbachol-treated animals.
