The effect of vasopressin on the phosphoinositides of Tetrahymena pyriformis. Relationship with glycogen content.
In Tetrahymena pyriformis a 20% decrease of 32P-PIP2 was produced by 10(-6) M vasopressin treatment within 30 s. A 17% decrease occurred in the content of PAS positive material within 5 min after administration. The effect of vasopressin was similar to that of hepatocytes.
