Antidiuretic Hormone Content of the Hypothalamo-Neurohypophysial System and Urinary Excretion of Antidiuretic Hormone in Rats During the Development of Diabetes Insipidus After Lesions in the Pituitary Stalk
Abstract:The antidiuretic hormone (ADH) content of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system (HNS) and the excretion of AD-activity in the urine has been examined after pituitary stalk lesion in rats. In the oliguric phase which developed approximately 24 hr. after stalk destruction and lasted for about 3 days, the HNS was greatly depleted of ADH and the excretion of AD\x=req-\ activity in the urine was much above normal. Implantation of posterior lobes obtained from intact adult rats under the kidney capsule of stalk-le… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
