Insulin-like immunoreactivity (IRI) in the rat hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system: effect of dehydration and haemorrhage.
Hypothalamic IRI was not affected in haemorrhaged rats, but diminished considerably in the dehydrated ones. In the neurohypohysis, IRI was distinctly higher both in dehydrated and haemorrhaged rats, i.e., under disorders which stimulated vasopressin and/or oxytocin release. It is suggested that insulin-like substance(s) may be someway involved in regulation of vasopressin or oxytocin secretion.
