title: Sex Differences in the Hemorheological Effect of Antidiuretic Hormone.
abstract: Experiments on rats showed that treatment with desmopressin in combination with water load contributes to the general nonspecific response of the blood. Increased blood viscosity, fibrinogen concentration, and erythrocyte aggregation were observed. Hemorheological changes in comparison with the control were less pronounced in females. Sex differences in erythrocyte aggregation were most significant.
