Antidiuretic Activity in the Cerebrospinal Fluid

“…Moreover, Van Dyke, Bailey & Buey (1929) 3rd ventricle. Such light-microscopical studies on both mammals and sub-mammalian vertebrates have been published by Hild (1951), Bargmann (1954Bargmann ( , 1955, Stutinsky (1953), Okamoto (1957), Talanti & Kivalo (1961), Eichner (1963) and Dierickx (1964), and many of the authors suggest that the neurosecretory material is secreted into the CSF. These light-microscopical findings are supported by electron-microscopical investigations (Brightman & Palay, 1963;Smoller, 1965;Nishioka, Bern & Mewaldt, 1964;Leonhardt & Lindner, 1967).…”

Central Mechanism of Vasopressin‐induced Changes in Antidiuretic Hormone Release

“…an inhibitory feed back mechanism for ADH exists. ADH activity in the cerebrospinal fluid has been reported (Hoyle, 1933;Talanti & Kivalo, 1961;Heller & Ginsburg, 1966). However, it would be premature to suggest that this 'feed back' mechanism is operative in the abnormal physio-pathological states associated with high circulatory levels of ADH.…”

Subcellular Aspects of Storage and Release of Neurohypophysial Hormones

“…Similar observations were made by Bargmann (1957) in the neurohypophysis of the cat, and Bargmann & Knoop (1960) described nerve fibres containing the neurosecretory ' elementary granules ' entering the pars distalis and pars intermedia. Evidence is also available that neurones pass to the floor of the third ventricle from the hypothalamic nuclei (Bargmann & Scharrer, 1951;Rodriguez, 1964;Ito, 1965), and both light microscopic observations (Bargmann, 1955;Talanti & Kivalo, 1961) and electron microscopic investigations (Brightman & Palay, 1963;Smoller, 1965;Leonhardt & Lindner, 1967) suggest that these fibres contain neurosecretory material. These morphological observations are supported by the findings of Heller, Hasan & Saifi (1968) that vasopressin can be released into the cerebrospinal fluid under certain experimental conditions.…”
