Arginine vasotocin and renal function in the conscious dog.
The effects of arginine vasotocin (AVT), 4-6 ng/kg, on renal function and plasma prolactin (PRL) were determined in conscious American foxhounds undergoing a water diuresis. Intravenous AVT produced an antidiuresis, kaliuresis and inconsistent natriuresis, independently of changes in GFR, blood pressure, heart rate and plasma PRL.
