title: [THE INVESTIGATION OF VASOPRESSIN SECRETION IN NORMAL CONDITION AND DURING SEIZURE ONSET IN KRUSHINSKY-MOLODKINA RATS].
abstract: The aim of our study was to analyze vasopressin secretion rate from hypothalamic neurons in Krushinsky-Molodkina (KM) rats prone to audiogenic epilepsy in control and during audiogenic seizures. We evaluated vasopressin content in blood serum and neurophysin II amount in the neurohypophysis in KM rats as well as in Wistar rats. Obtained data demonstrated decreasing of vasopressin in the blood and at the same time increasing of neurophysin II content in the neurohy- pophysis of KM rats that revealed an inhibition of vasopressin release into blood circuit. The analysis of vasopressin content in blood on the different stages of audiogenic seizure showed significant increasing of vasopressin at clonustonus. Thus, we obtained first demonstration that in KM rats prone to audiogenic seizures vasopressin secretion rate is decreased in comparison to Wistar rats. Significantly upregulated vasopressin in blood at cloniconic stages reveals a participation of vasopressinergic neurosecretory system in the expression of audiogenic seizures.
