The effects of a chronic infusion of arginine vasopressin in salt-restricted, water-deprived man. 1984

P J Drew, and J N Barnes, and J M Holly, and A Knight, and F J Goodwin

The effects of a 48 h infusion of arginine vasopressin (AVP) were measured in five separate studies on four normal salt-restricted physicians, in whom fluid retention was prevented. The infusion was associated with an increase in renal sodium excretion which continued during the 24 h after the infusion had been discontinued. During the infusion plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma aldosterone and noradrenaline, and packed cell volume (PCV) fell; glomerular filtration rate, assessed by endogenous creatinine clearance, increased. The findings are best explained by a vasopressin-induced increase in plasma volume, which in the absence of fluid retention is likely to have been due to a redistribution of body water.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D012083 Renin A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates ANGIOTENSIN I from its precursor ANGIOTENSINOGEN, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate BLOOD PRESSURE and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 3.4.99.19.
