...David S. Jessop; Philip J. Larsen; Jens D. Mikkelsen; Stafford L. Lightman; Hardial S. Chowdrey We have examined the effects of adrenalectomy (ADX) on neuropeptide Y (NPY) content in the posterior pituitary of the rat. In rats given 2% saline to drink for 12 days, plasma osmolality increased to 343...

... blotting, and probed with oligonucleotides specific for VP and OT mRNA. The VP and OT mRNA size, shown previously to reflect 3’-poly (A) tail length, was consistently increased 2 h after dehydration, prior to significant changes in plasma osmolality or haematocrit. Intraperitoneal administration...

... in the hypertonic group. Changes in plasma prolactin were independent of the large fluid volumes used. The evidence is interpreted as indicating that alterations in serum osmolality may be a significant factor in controlling prolactin secretion. 15 06 1973 10 09 1973 20 3 2008 © 1974 S. Karger...

... vasopressin (AVP) secretion from magnocellular hypothalamic neurons. In order to further characterize the mechanisms involved in the interactions between body fluid alterations and pituitary adrenal function, we manipulated osmolality and volemia in sheep under stimulation of the pituitary-adrenal axis...
