title: Failure to demonstrate natriuretic activity in the posterior pituitary after immunoneutralization of the vasopressin content.
abstract: The attempt to demonstrate the presence of a natriuretic substance in the posterior pituitary after immunoneutralization of the AVP content failed. Rats infused i.v. AVP-immunoneutralized posterior pituitary extract did not respond by natriuresis to a saline infusion, in contrast to those infused untreated posterior pituitary extract. Thus, vasopressin seems to be the natriuretic substance in the posterior pituitary extract.
