Effects of oxytocin, vasotocin and alpha-MSH on renal function in the nonhuman primate.
We determined the effect of oxytocin, alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) and arginine vasotocin on renal function of the macaque monkey. The only significant effect of the peptides was that alpha-MSH had an antidiuretic effect and vasotocin had both an antidiuretic and natriuretic effect.
