Does the effect of AVP on hypothalamic neurones support its proposed role in endogenous antipyresis?
The effect of AVP on unit activity and temperature sensitivity was tested in hypothalamic slices of the rat. The results demonstrate that AH/PO neurones in vitro react to AVP by significant changes of both static discharge and temperature sensitivity supporting the idea of direct modulation of thermoregulatory neurones by AVP.
