Journal ArticleDOI
Release of vasopressin by enkephalin.
TL;DR: It was shown that injection into the cerebral ventricles was at least ten times more effective than intravenous injection and for [D‐Ala2‐D‐Leu5]‐enkephalin that the antidiuretic response was associated with increased excretion of vasopressin in the urine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vasopressin release by nicotine: the site of action.
TL;DR: It is concluded that nicotine acts on the ventral surface of the brain stem probably by activating the central projection to the supra‐optic and possibly also the paraventricular nuclei of afferent pathways in the sinus and vagus nerves which control the release of vasopressin in response to changes in blood volume or distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
The assay of milk-ejecting activity in the lactating rat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of tyrosinase preparations on oxytocin, vasopressin and bradykinin
TL;DR: It is concluded that the tyrosinase preparations used contain two distinct enzymes or activities, the one inactivating oxytocin and vasopressin at pH 7.5 and the other bradykin in the presence of p-nitrophenol, ascorbic acid, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate and under anaerobic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central inhibition by γ-aminobutyric acid and muscimol of the release of vasopressin and oxytocin by an osmotic stimulus in the rat
TL;DR: The results confirm other evidence that, in the rat, in contrast some other species, an osmotic stimulus causes release of both vasopressin and oxytocin, which is blocked by GABA and muscimol.
