title: The effect of noradrenaline and acetylcholine on blood arginine vasotocin level in the domestic fowl.
abstract: The effect of naredrenaline and acetylcholine on the blood arginine vasotocin (AVT) level in hens as well as the effect of reserpine and atropine on the release of this hormone following the intravenous injection of hypertonic NaCl solution were investigated. It was dound that noradrenaline causes a decrease in blood AVT level in contrast to acetylcholine. Reserpine itself caused a rise in the blood AVT level; the effect was also found after administration of hypertonic solution. Atropine had no effect on the blood AVT level, but inhibited the AVT release following the adminstration of hypertonic Nacl solution.
