title: The effect of antidiuretic hormone on avian salt gland function.
abstract: The effect of vasopressin (ADH) on the extrarenal secretory pattern from normal and contralateral chronically denervated salt glands in the conscious salt-loaded domestic goose was examined. ADH pretreatment reduced the total outputs and initial rates of water and cation concentrations 30-80% from both type glands. ADH also enhanced the onset time of secretion from the denervated glands and reduced the sodium concentration from both type glands. Both untreated and ADH-treated animals exhibited an increased output of water and cations from the denervated glands as compared with control glands. ADH caused no noticeable effect on this phenomenon.
