Anteroventral third ventricle lesions reduce antidiuretic responses to angiotensin II. 1979

Ablation of anteroventral third ventricle (AV3V) periventricular tissue renders animals temporarily adipsic with no compensatory change in urine volume or concentration. The present experiment was designed to determine whether lesions of the AV3V region attenuate vasopressin (AVP) release in response to intraventricular (ivt) injections of angiotensin II (AII), hypertonic NaCl, and phenylephrine during the adipsic period. Blood pressure, urine conductance, and urine flow rate were monitored in awake, unrestrained animals during a continuous intravenous hydrating infusion. Changes in blood pressure and urine parameters were recorded following ivt injections of 100 ng AII, 500 ng AII, 1 microliter 3% NaCl, and 50 microgram phenylephrine. In addition, a radioimmunoassay (RIA) measured AVP following 500 ng AII ivt in lesioned and nonlesioned animals. Antidiuretic and pressor responses to ivt AII were attenuated after AV3V lesions. In addition, RIA analysis showed a significantly smaller concentration of AVP in lesioned animals following AII injections. These data suggest that the AV3V region is important for AVP release in response to central AII and osmotic stimuli.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.

D000804 Angiotensin II An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.

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.
