title: Possible absorption of antidiuretic hormone in isolated rat intestine.
abstract: Arginine-vasopressin or arginine-vasotocin hormones introduced into the small intestine are absorbed and exert a hydrosmotic effect. The amount of absorbed antidiuretic hormone increased when it is introduced with intestinal peptidase inhibitor aprotinin. These data attest to the possibility of absorption of pituitary hormones (vasotocin and vasopressin) in rat small intestine without losing their physiological activity.
