The effect of vasopressin upon the cochlear potentials in the guinea pig. 1986

N Mori, and K Ohta, and T Matsunaga

The change in the EP, CM, SP and AP during perilymphatic perfusion of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) was examined in the guinea pig. The EP was recorded with a microelectrode through the spiral ligament of the second turn. The CM, SP and AP were measured with the differential electrodes in the basal turn. The perfusion of vasopressin at concentration of more than 10(-5)M produced a reversible decrease in the EP. The extent of the EP decline was dependent upon the concentration of vasopressin. Abolition of the effect of vasopressin upon the EP by the resumption of respiration after transient asphyxia was observed. During the perfusion of vasopressin, the CM and AP decreased, while the negative component of the SP increased. The mechanism causing the effect of vasopressin upon the cochlear potentials is discussed.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014667	Vasopressins	Antidiuretic hormones released by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS of all vertebrates (structure varies with species) to regulate water balance and OSMOLARITY. In general, vasopressin is a nonapeptide consisting of a six-amino-acid ring with a cysteine 1 to cysteine 6 disulfide bridge or an octapeptide containing a CYSTINE. All mammals have arginine vasopressin except the pig with a lysine at position 8. Vasopressin, a vasoconstrictor, acts on the KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCTS to increase water reabsorption, increase blood volume and blood pressure.
