Abstract
Background Hyponatremia is a well-known adverse event of repeated therapy with vincristine in oncological patients. However, to date, data in pediatric patients with malignant diseases other than acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are sparse or lacking. Materials and Methods A retrospective study of 98 pediatric patients was conducted to analyze the incidence of hyponatremia in a Caucasian cohort of newly diagnosed ALL. For comparison, we further examined five other pediatric oncological cohorts (Hodgkin’s disease, Ewing sarcoma, Wilms tumor, benign glioma of the CNS, Langerhans cell histiocytosis) that receive alkaloids in their induction regimes. Results We found a high incidence of hyponatremia (14.7%) in our ALL cohort with a trend toward male patients of elementary school age. None of the affected patients showed neurological symptoms. By comparison, patients from other malignancy groups did not show significant hyponatremia, regardless of their comparable therapy with alkaloids. We here show a noticeable coincidence of hyponatremia and hypertriglyceridemia in ALL patients, indicating a possible role of L-asparaginase-related hypertriglyceridemia in the development of severe hyponatremia in such patients. Conclusion We report a higher incidence of hyponatremia following vincristine therapy in Caucasian children with ALL than published before. This hyponatremia could not be demonstrated in other oncologic cohorts treated with alkaloids. L-Asparaginase-induced hypertriglyceridemia may play a role in the certainly multifactorial development of hyponatremia in childhood leukemia.

Abstract
Rationale: MQ1, a snake toxin which targets with high nanomolar affinity and absolute selectivity for the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R), is a drug candidate for renal diseases and a molecular probe for imaging cells or organs expressing V2R. Methods: MQ1's pharmacological properties were characterized and applied to a rat model of hyponatremia. Its PK/PD parameters were determined as well as its therapeutic index. Fluorescently and radioactively labeled MQ1 were chemically synthesized and associated with moderate loss of affinity. MQ1's dynamic biodistribution was monitored by positron emission tomography. Confocal imaging was used to observe the labeling of three cancer cell lines. Results: The inverse agonist property of MQ1 very efficiently prevented dDAVP-induced hyponatremia in rats with low nanomolar/kg doses and with a very large therapeutic index. PK (plasma MQ1 concentrations) and PD (diuresis) exhibited a parallel biphasic decrease. The dynamic biodistribution showed that MQ1 targets the kidneys and then exhibits a blood and kidney biphasic decrease. Whatever the approach used, we found a T1/2α between 0.9 and 3.8 h and a T1/2β between 25 and 46 h and demonstrated that the kidneys were able to retain MQ1. Finally, the presence of functional V2R expressed at the membrane of cancer cells was, for the first time, demonstrated with a specific fluorescent ligand. Conclusion: As the most selective V2 binder, MQ1 is a new promising drug for aquaresis-related diseases and a molecular probe to visualize in vitro and in vivo V2R expressed physiologically or under pathological conditions.

Abstract
Water homeostasis is one of the body's most critical tasks. Physical challenges to the body, including exercise and surgery, almost always coordinate with some change in water handling reflecting the changing needs of the body. Vasopressin is the most important hormone that contributes to short‐term water homeostasis. By manipulating vascular tone and regulating water reabsorption in the collecting duct of the kidneys, vasopressin can mediate the retention or loss of fluids quickly. In this study, we validated HumMod, an integrative mathematical model of human physiology, against six different challenges to water homeostasis with special attention to the secretion of vasopressin and maintenance of electrolyte balance. The studies chosen were performed in normal men and women, and represent a broad spectrum of perturbations. HumMod successfully replicated the experimental results, remaining within 1 standard deviation of the experimental means in 138 of 161 measurements. Only three measurements lay outside of the second standard deviation. Observations were made on serum osmolarity, serum vasopressin concentration, serum sodium concentration, urine osmolarity, serum protein concentration, hematocrit, and cumulative water intake following dehydration. This validation suggests that HumMod can be used to understand water homeostasis under a variety of conditions.

Abstract
Ingestion of water and food are major hypo- and hyperosmotic challenges. To protect the body from osmotic stress, posterior pituitary-projecting, vasopressin-secreting neurons (VPpp neurons) counter osmotic perturbations by altering their release of vasopressin, which controls renal water excretion. Vasopressin levels begin to fall within minutes of water consumption, even prior to changes in blood osmolality. To ascertain the precise temporal dynamics by which water or food ingestion affect VPpp neuron activity, we directly recorded the spiking and calcium activity of genetically defined VPpp neurons. In states of elevated osmolality, water availability rapidly decreased VPpp neuron activity within seconds, beginning prior to water ingestion, upon presentation of water-predicting cues. In contrast, food availability following food restriction rapidly increased VPpp neuron activity within seconds, but only following feeding onset. These rapid and distinct changes in activity during drinking and feeding suggest diverse neural mechanisms underlying anticipatory regulation of VPpp neurons.

Abstract
It has been postulated that alterations in the intravascular distribution of blood affect antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion in man. The studies reported here were designed to alter blood distribution by thermal and by positional change to test this thesis.HUMAN BLOOD ADH LEVELS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO VARY WITH POSITION: a mean value of 0.4 +/- 0.6 (SD) muU/ml was obtained while the subject was supine, a value of 1.4 +/- 0.7 muU/ml while sitting, and 3.1 +/- 1.5 muU/ml while standing. In 79 control subjects, sitting comfortably for 30 min in a normal environment, a blood ADH level of 1.65 +/- 0.63 muU/ml was found. It is suggested that subjects assume this position during experiments in which blood is drawn for measurement of ADH levels.In eight seated subjects the ADH level rose from 1.6 +/- 0.4 to 5.2 +/- 0.8 muU/ml after a 2 hr exposure at 50 degrees C and fell to 1.0 +/- 0.26 muU/ml within 15 min at 26 degrees C.Six subjects with a mean ADH level of 2.2 +/- 0.58 muU/ml sat quietly in the cold (13 degrees C) for 1 hr, and the ADH level fell to 1.2 +/- 0.36 muU/ml. After 15 min at 26 degrees C, the level rose to 3.1 +/- 0.78 muU/ml. The serum sodium and osmolal concentrations remained constant during all studies.Water, sodium, and total solute excretion decreased during exposure to the heat, whereas the urine to plasma (U/P) osmolal ratio increased. During cold exposure, water, sodium, and total solute excretion increased, and there was a decrease in the U/P osmolal ratio.These data are interpreted as indicating that changes in activity of intrathoracic stretch receptors, in response to redistribution of blood, alter ADH secretion independently of changes in serum osmolality. The rapidity of change of blood ADH concentration indicates a great sensitivity and a prime functional role for the "volume receptors" in the regulation of ADH secretion.

Abstract
Diuretics are frequently required to treat fluid retention in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Unfortunately, they can lead to a decline in renal function, electrolyte depletion, and neurohormonal activation. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) promotes renal water reabsorption via the V(2) receptor (V(2)R) and its levels are increased in CHF. This study was conducted to characterize the diuretic effect of tolvaptan, a non-peptide AVP V(2)R antagonist, and furosemide, a loop diuretic in a rat model of CHF after experimental autoimmune myocarditis. CHF was elicited in Lewis rats by immunization with porcine cardiac myosin, and 28 days after immunization rats were treated for 28 days with oral tolvaptan, and furosemide. CHF was characterized by left ventricular remodeling and impaired systolic and diastolic function. Tolvaptan produces a diuresis comparable to furosemide. Unlike tolvaptan, furosemide significantly increased urinary sodium and potassium excretion. Tolvaptan markedly elevated electrolyte-free water clearance (E-CH(2)O) or aquaresis to a positive value and increased urinary AVP excretion. In contrast to tolvaptan, furosemide elevated only electrolyte clearance (E-Cosm) but not E-CH(2)O. The differences in diuretic profile reflected the changes in plasma sodium and hormone levels. Tolvaptan dose dependently elevated plasma sodium concentration, but furosemide tended to decrease it. Furosemide significantly elevated plasma renin activity and aldosterone concentration. On the other hand, tolvaptan did not affect these parameters. Our results suggest that, tolvaptan have a potential medical benefit for the treatment of edematous conditions in CHF by removing excess water from the body without activating the RAAS or causing serum electrolyte imbalances.

Abstract
Similar to other neurohormones that are activated in chronic heart failure (CHF), circulating arginine vasopressin (AVP) is elevated in patients with CHF. The precise role of AVP in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease is controversial. AVP is a peptide hormone that contributes to water retention and vasoconstriction in CHF through effects on V(2) and V(1a) receptors, respectively. In the present study, the effect of V(2) receptor (V(2)R) blockade using tolvaptan was assessed in a rat model of myosin-induced experimental autoimmune myocarditis. CHF was elicited in Lewis rats by immunization with porcine cardiac myosin, and 28 days after immunization rats were treated for 28 days with oral tolvaptan (3 or 10mg/(kg day)) or vehicle. CHF was characterized by left ventricular remodeling and impaired systolic and diastolic function. Chronic V(2)R blockade increased urine volume and urinary AVP excretion and decreased urine osmolality but had no natriuretic effect, and as a result caused increases in plasma osmolality and sodium. High doses of tolvaptan markedly elevated electrolyte-free water clearance. V(2)R blockade did not activate the renin-angiotensin system, not influence cardiac remodeling, cardiac function, or survival. The upregulation of aquaporin 2 protein in the kidney of CHF rats was inhibited by the administration of V(2)R antagonist. These results suggest that in a rat model of CHF, AVP plays a major role in water retention through the renal V(2)R.

Abstract
Background—
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a vasoactive hormone that acts on the kidney to conserve solute-free water and produces a potent vasoconstrictive effect during hypovolemic states. AVP levels are elevated in adults with congestive heart failure (CHF), and early clinical trials using AVP antagonists are being conducted. The purpose of this study was to determine if AVP levels (1) are elevated in children with CHF attributable to left ventricular dysfunction or pulmonary overcirculation attributable to large left-to-right shunts and (2) can predict functional clinical status.
Methods and Results—
AVP levels were measured in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and CHF and in patients with large left-to-right intracardiac shunts. Each patient with DCM (ejection fraction percent <40%) was classified as NYHA functional class I through IV when the AVP level was drawn. Serum sodium was measured, serum osmolality was calculated, and echocardiograms and chest radiographs were performed on all study patients. AVP levels were also measured in age-matched controls. Mean AVP level in children with DCM (n=27) was 10.3 pg/mL (±12.8) versus 3.7 pg/mL (±2.4) in controls (n=15) (
P
<0.01). Mean AVP level in children with left-to-right shunts (n=14) was 13.9 pg/mL (±17.3) versus 3.5 pg/mL (±1.3) in controls (n=8) (
P
<0.04). In patients with DCM, AVP levels correlated directly with NYHA functional class (
r
2
=0.73,
P
<0.001).
Conclusions—
Arginine vasopressin levels are elevated in infants and children with CHF attributable to left ventricular dysfunction and in infants with large left-to-right intracardiac shunts. Furthermore, there is a direct relationship between AVP level and the severity of heart failure in patients with DCM.

Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective study used a pharmaceutical company's global safety database to determine the reporting rate of hyponatremia and/or syndrome of inappropriate secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (SIADH) among vincristine-treated patients and to explore the possibility of at-risk population subgroups. METHOD We searched the Eli Lilly and Company's computerized adverse event database for all reported cases of hyponatremia and/or SIADH as of 1 November 1999 that had been reported during the use of vincristine. RESULTS A total of 76 cases of hyponatremia and/or SIADH associated with vincristine use were identified. The overall reporting rate was estimated to be 1.3/100,000 treated patients. The average age of patients was 35.6 +/- 28.3 years, and 62% were males. Approximately 75% of the patients were receiving treatment for leukemia or lymphoma. Among the 39 reports that included information on race, the racial distribution was: 1 Black, 3 Caucasian, and 35 Asian. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that Asian patients may be at increased risk of hyponatremia and/or SIADH associated with vincristine use. Although the overall reported rate of SIADH associated with vincristine is very low, physicians caring for Asian oncology patients should be aware of this potential serious but reversible adverse event.

Abstract
We evaluated how renal vascular reactivity to vasopressin changes when nitric oxide (NO) synthesis varies, as has been reported to occur in the course of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Renal vasoconstrictor responses to vasopressin were obtained in young and older Sprague-Dawley control rats (3 and 10 months old) and in age-matched diabetic rats that had been treated with streptozotocin (60 mg/kg i.v.) at the age of 2 months. In young rats, vasopressin (3-1000 ng/kg/min i.v.) induced in vivo a dose-dependent decrease in renal blood flow, which was diminished in streptozotocin diabetic rats (P<0.05). Similarly, in in vitro perfused kidneys, the concentration-response curve for vasopressin (0.03-10 nM) was shifted 3-fold to the right in kidneys isolated from young diabetic rats (P<0.05). This shift was abolished in the presence of an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis, N(G)-nitro-L-arginine (100 microM), in the perfusate. In 10-month-old rats, the in vivo renal vasoconstrictor dose-response curve to vasopressin was shifted 10-fold to the left as compared to that for young rats (P<0.001). This shift was similar in both control and diabetic rats. In conclusion, the present study documented the existence of hyporesponsiveness to vasopressin in the early stage of diabetes, possibly related to nitric oxide overproduction. In contrast, renal vascular hyperreactivity to vasopressin occurs with aging, whether the rats are diabetic or not.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to identify the source of baroreceptor-related noradrenergic innervation of the diagonal band of Broca (DBB). Male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent sinoaortic denervation (SAD, n = 13) or sham SAD surgery (n = 13). We examined Fos expression produced by baroreceptor activation and dopamine-beta-hydroxylase immunofluorescence in hindbrain regions that contain noradrenergic neurons. Baroreceptors were stimulated by increasing blood pressure >40 mmHg with phenylephrine (10 microgram. kg(-1). min(-1) iv) in sham SAD and SAD rats. Controls were infused with 0.9% saline. Only the locus ceruleus (LC) demonstrated a baroreceptor-dependent increase in Fos immunoreactivity in dopamine-beta-hydroxylase-positive neurons. In a second experiment, normal rats received rhodamine-labeled microsphere injections in the DBB (n = 12) before phenylephrine or vehicle infusion. In these experiments, only the LC consistently contained Fos-positive cells after phenylephrine infusion that were retrogradely labeled from the DBB. Finally, we lesioned the LC with ibotenic acid and obtained extracellular recordings from identified vasopressin neurons in the supraoptic nucleus. LC lesions significantly reduced the number of vasopressin neurons that were inhibited by acute baroreceptor stimulation. Together, these results suggest that noradrenergic neurons in the LC participate in the baroreflex activation of the DBB and may thus be important in the baroreflex inhibition of vasopressin-releasing neurons in the supraoptic nucleus.

Abstract
Nitric oxide attenuates both vasopressin-induced vasoconstriction and vasopressin release. We tested whether hypertension and renal dysfunction elicited by chronic inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis using N(G)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) could be mediated in part by vasopressin V(1A) receptors. Male rats were treated orally for 6 weeks with L-NNA (15 mg/kg per day), a nonpeptide V(1A) receptor antagonist (2S)-1-[(2R,3S)-5-chloro-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-(3, 4-dimethoxybenzene-sulfonyl)-3-hydroxy-2, 3-dihydro-1H-indole-2-carbonyl]-pyrrolidine-2-carboxamide (SR 49059, 30 mg/kg per day), or a combination of SR 49059 and L-NNA (same doses), or they received no treatment. Both drugs were added to the food. Measurements were performed in conscious rats (urine collection in metabolic cages, tail-cuff arterial pressure) and at the end of the study in anesthetized rats (clearance measurements). L-NNA produced sustained hypertension, decreased glomerular filtration rate, and increased renal vascular resistance, plasma renin activity, and urinary albumin excretion. SR 49059 had no effect per se on these parameters and also did not attenuate the hypertension and renal dysfunction induced by L-NNA. Surprisingly, SR 49059 potentiated L-NNA-induced hypertension at the end of the 6-week treatment. However, the blood pressure response and the renal and mesenteric vasoconstriction elicited by exogenous vasopressin were attenuated in rats treated with SR 49059. L-NNA did not change plasma vasopressin concentration or 24-hour urinary vasopressin excretion. Our findings suggest that activation of vasopressin V(1A) receptors does not contribute to the hypertension and renal dysfunction induced by chronic NO synthesis inhibition. They also document unchanged plasma vasopressin concentration in NO-deficient hypertension.

Abstract
The renal vascular effects of [Arg8]vasopressin (vasopressin) were investigated in the isolated perfused rat kidney. Vasopressin (0.01-3 nM) elicited a dose-dependent vasoconstriction in kidneys from Sprague Dawley rats, with a EC50 value of 0.206 +/- 0.044 nM. Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase by N omega-nitro-L-arginine (100 microM) shifted the vasopressin-induced vasoconstrictor response curve to the left. Inhibition of cyclooxygenase by indomethacin (10 or 30 microM) blunted the constriction induced by low concentrations of the peptide. Vasopressin, like angiotensin II but not noradrenaline, induced tachyphylaxis, SR 49059 ((2S)1-[(2R,3S)-5-chloro-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-(3,4-dimethoxybenzene- sulfonyl)-3-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-1H-indole-2-carbonyl]-pyrrolidine-2- carboxamide) (1-30 nM), a new potent and selective non-peptide vasopressin V1A receptor antagonist, shifted the concentration-response curve for vasopressin to the right without decreasing the maximum contraction. Antagonism became competitive with a pA2 value (+/- S.D.) of 9.72 +/- 0.20 during inhibition of nitric oxide release. [Mpa1,D-Arg8]Vasopressin (desmopressin; 0.1-100 nM), or vasopressin (0.01-1 nM) after blockade of the vasopressin V1A receptor by SR 49059, induced no vasopressin V2 receptor-related renal relaxation in kidneys with vascular tone previously restored by noradrenaline or prostaglandin F2 alpha. These findings indicate that in the isolated perfused rat kidney vasopressin is a potent renal vasoconstrictor. The constriction depends on activation of smooth muscle vasopressin V1A receptors and is modulated by endothelial nitric oxide but not by prostacyclin or vasopressin V2 receptor-related vasodilation.

Abstract
There are several situations in Emergency Medicine when it is desirable to promote a prompt diuresis to fill the bladder or obtain urine for diagnostic tests. We attempted to determine which of 3 commonly used intravenous solutions is most effective in establishing urine flow. In a prospective, randomized double-blind crossover study of 12 healthy male volunteers, we rapidly infused 20 cc/kg of D5W, D51/2NS, or 1/2NS immediately after voiding. Voided urine volumes were then recorded at 30, 60, 90, and 120 min postinfusion and the degree of glycosuria, if any, was noted. Total mean urine volume after D5W was 1181 ml, significantly greater than after 1/2NS (825 ml) and 1/2NS (630 ml), which did not differ between each other. Mean urine volume was greater at every time interval for the D5W group, and glycosuria was common in both D5-containing groups. We conclude that in healthy subjects, D5W is more effective in promoting rapid diuresis than are sodium-containing solutions.

Abstract
To characterize the urinary kinetics of AVP, and the influence of regional blood flow on the metabolic degradation of AVP, multiple doses of AVP were administered to conscious rabbits. AVP systemic clearance (ClT) was not influenced by changes in dose, in spite of a decrease in AVP urinary clearance following the highest dose. Hepatic blood flow was inversely associated with AVP concentrations, and despite a decrease in hepatic plasma flow of 37% (p < 0.05), following the high dose of AVP, ClT remained unchanged. These results indicate that AVP plasma kinetics are first order and plasma flow independent, and urinary kinetics are zero order.

Abstract
Metabolic clearance rate and half-time of arginine vasopressin were measured in 43 cirrhotic patients and 10 control subjects. Synthetic arginine vasopressin was infused intravenously at a rate of 500 pg/min/kg of body weight for 75 min. The metabolic clearance rate was significantly reduced, and the half-time of arginine vasopressin after stopping the infusion was significantly increased in patients with cirrhosis, particularly in those with ascites and in those with moderate or severe liver dysfunction. Changes in metabolic clearance rate and half-time of arginine vasopressin correlated with the score of the liver dysfunction, prothrombin activity and levels of serum albumin and bilirubin but not with parameters of kidney function (serum creatinine levels and clearance of creatinine). We conclude that reduced metabolic clearance rate and prolonged half-time of vasopressin in plasma are frequent findings in cirrhotic patients with poor liver function. This impaired catabolism of antidiuretic hormone may contribute to maintaining elevated plasma levels of this hormone in these patients and may be an additional factor leading to fluid retention and to dilutional hyponatremia.

Abstract
The effects of peripheral injection of various doses of lysine-vasopressin (LVP), administered 30 min before a 5-min session in a hole-board apparatus, were compared as a function of food restriction. Comparison of performance for various indices of general activity clearly showed that the food-restricted rats were more active and exhibited less photophobia than normally fed ones. The differences between the two groups were maintained in a second session 24 hours later. There was no sign of behavioral habituation to the apparatus among restricted animals. Different doses (0.2, 1, 2 micrograms of LVP) affected food-restricted animals differently from the rats fed ad lib. Only the highest dose reduced activity in both groups. A posttest injection of the smallest dose (0.2 micrograms) had an opposite effect on the activity in the hole-board, measured 24 hours after the injection. A second experiment showed that plasma and adrenal corticosterone were higher in deprived rats. The administration of 0.2 micrograms of LVP was followed by an increase in corticosterone. In food-restricted rats this increase was bigger and was still observed 24 hours after the injection. There is an interaction between feeding conditions and LVP injections which affects both the internal hormonal state and spontaneous reactivity to environment. These findings are of relevance to the effect of vasopressin on behavior.

Abstract
Elevation of brain catecholamine levels by systemic administration of L-dopa in dogs pretreated with the dopa decarboxylase inhibitor carbidopa inhibits the secretion of vasopressin and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and decreases arterial blood pressure. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the inhibition of vasopressin secretion is mediated by dopamine or norepinephrine, both of which have been implicated in the control of vasopressin secretion, and whether the decrease in vasopressin secretion contributes to the suppression of ACTH secretion and fall in blood pressure produced by L-dopa. This was accomplished by comparing the effects of dopamine and alpha-adrenergic receptor antagonists on vasopressin, ACTH, and blood pressure responses to L-dopa. The effect of a specific antagonist of the vasoconstrictor action of vasopressin also was studied. Injection of L-dopa (20 mg/kg i.v.) in dogs pretreated with carbidopa (20 mg/kg i.v.) caused reductions in plasma vasopressin concentration (from 16.0 +/- 4.8 to 3.8 +/- 0.9 pg/ml; p less than 0.05), plasma ACTH concentration (from 96.0 +/- 20.4 to 49.2 +/- 10.0 pg/ml; p less than 0.05), and mean arterial pressure (from 121 +/- 6 to 78 +/- 5 mm Hg; p less than 0.05). Pretreatment with pimozide (1 mg/kg i.p.) completely blocked the inhibition of vasopressin secretion by L-dopa but failed to block the suppression of ACTH secretion (57.6 +/- 11.8 to 34.0 +/- 5.1 pg/ml; p less than 0.05) or the decrease in mean arterial pressure (126 +/- 5 to 93 +/- 7 mm Hg; p less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The peak hemodynamic effect and hormonal response of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor enoximone (MDL 17,043) were compared with those of dobutamine in 10 patients with severe congestive heart failure. Both agents significantly (p less than 0.05) increased cardiac index, stroke volume index and heart rate. Enoximone tended to decrease mean systemic arterial and pulmonary artery wedge pressures (0.05 less than p less than 0.1), whereas dobutamine did not. Both agents decreased systemic vascular resistance (p less than 0.05). The increase in heart rate was greater with dobutamine than with enoximone (p less than 0.05). Plasma renin activity increased significantly with dobutamine (from 11.3 +/- 13.5 to 17.8 +/- 15.0 ng/ml/hour, p less than 0.01) and with enoximone (from 13.6 +/- 18.3 to 16.6 +/- 18.8 ng/ml/hour, 0.05 less than p less than 0.1). Dobutamine suppressed plasma norepinephrine level (p less than 0.05) and enoximone did not. Neither agent affected the plasma vasopressin level. These data demonstrate a similar acute hemodynamic and hormonal profile for both enoximone and dobutamine. Further, dobutamine, like other beta agonists, provokes renin secretion and may do so to a greater extent than enoximone.

Abstract
White Plymouth Rock hens were fed a high- and a low-NaCl content of the diet. The two groups were exposed to moderate dehydration, to intra-arterial hyperosmotic NaCl-loading, or to injection of physiological doses of arginine vasotocin (AVT). The plasma levels of AVT and prolactin were measured by accurate and sensitive radioimmunoassay and the osmolality and Na, K (and Cl) concentrations also measured for 48 h after dehydration, and for 60-90 min after NaCl-loading or AVT-injection. The plasma concentration of AVT after a given increase of plasma osmolality was in all experiments found higher in the low- as compared to the high-NaCl diet group. The average difference was 0.2 pg/ml X mOsm. The intra-arterial injection of AVT resulted in a strictly mono-exponential fall over the next hour with an average half-life of 6.3 min without any difference between the high- and the low-NaCl diet groups. It is concluded (a) that the release of prolactin after osmotic stimulation is most likely caused by a direct effect of osmolality (or Na concentration) and not by AVT, (b) that the release of AVT is influenced by the NaCl-intake in a direction which tends to maintain extracellular volume.

Abstract
This chapter reviews the disturbances of the serum sodium and potassium concentrations, acid-base imbalances, and acute renal dysfunction that are seen frequently in alcoholic patients. The hyponatremia common in decompensated cirrhotics is caused by an impairment of renal free water clearance and concomitant water ingestion. Excessive proximal renal tubular sodium reabsorption and nonosmotic vasopressin release underlie the defect in renal water excretion in cirrhosis. Restriction of water intake is the principal therapeutic measure for hyponatremia. Hypokalemia is common in alcoholics but when observed does not always represent true potassium depletion. Although most cirrhotics have a diminished total body potassium content, intracellular potassium concentration is usually normal. In some patients gastrointestinal and renal potassium losses and nutritional potassium deficiency may cause true potassium depletion. Respiratory and metabolic alkalosis are the acid-base disturbances seen most frequently in alcoholics. Acidosis is relatively uncommon and is usually due to renal insufficiency, lactic acid or keto-acid accumulation. Toxin ingestion (methanol, ethylene glycol, or isopropanol) may also cause severe acidosis. Rhabdomyolysis, common in severe alcoholism, may produce various electrolyte disturbances and acute renal failure. The prognosis for recovery is good although temporary dialysis may be necessary.

Abstract
Addition of nitroglycerin (NTG) improves the hemodynamic response to vasopressin and may thus be useful in the treatment of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. We studied in the rat the influence of vasopressin on the disposition of a constant intravenous infusion of NTG and the cutaneous absorption of NTG ointment. The effect of NTG on the pharmacokinetics of vasopressin was also determined. Animals were divided into four groups: control, NTG, vasopressin and vasopressin + NTG. Infusions (or ointments) were maintained for 70 min; cardiac output and regional blood flows were determined with the microsphere technique. Both intravenous and cutaneous NTG resulted in similar hemodynamic responses. Vasopressin caused generalized vasoconstriction, while the addition of NTG reversed the deleterious systemic hemodynamic effects of vasopressin. Addition of vasopressin to NTG did not alter NTG systemic clearance nor did NTG affect vasopressin clearance. Of note, the systemic clearance of NTG was directly correlated with the cardiac output (r = 0.804), supporting a model of NTG distribution where blood vessels and/or extrahepatic tissues are the site of elimination of the drug. The marked reduction in skin blood flow by vasopressin did not decrease the steady-state plasma concentration of NTG nor the estimated cutaneous absorption rate of NTG ointment, indicating that cutaneous blood flow is not an important determinant in the absorption of NTG ointment. The skin is an appropriate route of delivery for NTG when combined with vasopressin.

Abstract
Twelve steers of three different breeds were exposed to five feed and water regimes in order to characterize changes in plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) concentrations. No breed differences were found in plasma ADH concentration. Plasma ADH concentration rose (4.2 to 22.0 pg/ml) during dehydration. By 3 hr hydration, plasma ADH concentrations dropped dramatically (over 50%) to 9.2 pg/ml. No changes in plasma ADH concentrations occurred during feed restriction and refeeding. Hematocrit percentages were also determined and differences are hypothesized to relate to probable differences in environmental adaptability and genetic selection for meat or milk production among the three breeds.

Abstract
This review surveys our latest research dealing with the involvement of arginine vasotocin (AVT), the avian antidiuretic hormone, and other hormones in the regulation of water and salt balance in fowl. We examined the effect of dehydration, salt loading, high- and low-salt diets, and oviposition on plasma hormone levels and analyzed them in light of our knowledge of avian osmoregulatory responses to changes in water and salt balance. Gradual dehydration and hyperosmotic loading in domestic fowl revealed consistent differences in the AVT response between groups adapted to low- and high-NaCl diets. In birds on a low-NaCl diet the sensitivity of the AVT release was significantly higher than in birds on a high-NaCl diet. These results support the concept that the link between osmotic and volume regulation is established via varying sensitivity of the AVT release. We determined the half-life of the AVT in fowls (6.3 min), a value similar to that of ADH in mammals. We found that during oviposition, plasma AVT increases by a factor of four over the normal level, a magnitude consistent with the maximal responses revealed in osmotic stimulations. We have shown that as long as drinking water is available, heat exposure has no effect on the plasma osmotic constituents and the regulatory hormones. However, combined dehydration and heat exposure resulted in pronounced osmoregulatory responses integrated with the thermoregulatory responses to maintain water and salt balance without jeopardizing the birds' ability to cope with the thermoregulatory demands.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
During the past 20 years, evidence has accumulated to suggest that the neuropeptide vasopressin (VP) enhances memory by acting on central mechanisms, and that oxytocin (OT) has amnestic effects. In this review, the evidence for the memory hypothesis with respect to VP is considered and alternative interpretations evaluated. A critical approach has been adopted; negative findings, design considerations and problems with the various hypotheses are given prominence. It is concluded that the memory hypothesis fails to provide an adequate account, and some alternative theories and suggestions are discussed. It is speculated that the peptide may affect behaviour by two distinct mechanisms: peripheral action may involve reinforcement mechanisms, but its central role may be to modulate arousal level, especially in stressful situations.

Abstract
Arginine vasopressin, a potent vasoconstrictor and regulator of body water, is frequently increased in the plasma of patients with congestive heart failure. Other neurohumoral control networks, such as the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin system, also demonstrate increased activity in congestive heart failure, but fail to respond normally to physiologic stress, such as orthostatic tilt. To assess the response of plasma vasopressin to orthostasis in heart failure, vasopressin was measured before and at 10 and 45 minutes during passive upright tilt in 15 patients with congestive heart failure and their response was compared with that in 9 normal control subjects. Arginine vasopressin was measured by radioimmunoassay. In the normal subjects, plasma arginine vasopressin was 5.3 +/- 2.3 pg/ml at control, was unchanged at 10 minutes, but significantly increased to 7.0 +/- 2.5 pg/ml at 45 minutes (p less than 0.05). In contrast, patients with congestive heart failure showed no significant changes in arginine vasopressin levels from the control levels of 11.6 +/- 5.5 pg/ml. Both plasma norepinephrine and renin activity increased in the normal subjects, but failed to increase from higher baselines in patients with congestive heart failure. Thus, plasma arginine vasopressin, like plasma norepinephrine and renin activity, does not increase in response to upright tilt in patients with congestive heart failure. The explanation is not evident but could involve either abnormalities in reflex control of plasma vasopressin in congestive heart failure or in clearance of the hormone during orthostasis.

Abstract
Plasma vasopressin (AVP) concentration in dogs anaesthetized with chloralose was measured by radioimmunoassay and was within the range of 2-5 pg/ml. during control periods. Distension of the left atrium led within 2 min to a fall in plasma AVP concentration which reached a steady lower value within 4 min. After cessation of atrial distension the AVP concentration returned to pre-distention values within 4 min. Cooling the cervical vagosympathetic nerves to 8-10 degrees C led to a rise in plasma AVP concentration. Atrial distension during cooling of the vagi resulted in a further increase of plasma AVP concentration.

Abstract
The hepato-renal syndrome is defined as potentially reversible functional renal failure associated with acute fulminant hepatitis or, more often, with advanced chronic liver failure. It is characterized by oliguria, azotemia, retention of sodium and water with formation of ascites, and hyponatremia. While urinary sodium concentration of less than 10 mEq/l reflects intact tubular sodium absorption, the kidney lacks the ability for adequate free-water generation. This condition must be separated from specific renal diseases which may arise during the course of intra-or extrahepatic diseases and which must be classified accordingly. Pathophysiological aspects of the hepa-to-renal syndrome include hemodynamic factors, such as changes in intrarenal blood flow distribution in the presence of elevated intrarenal and reduced peripheral vascular resistance. The functional relationship of vasoconstrictor, sodium retaining, and anti-diuretic hormones (e.g., renin-angiotensin, aldosterone, and vasopressin) to vasodilator, diuretic, and natriuretic hormonal factors (e.g., prostaglandins, kinins, and natriuretic hormone) may be altered as well. Finally, a pre- and intrahepatic spillover resulting in decreased endotoxin clearance must be considered. Due to the lack of understanding of their complex interactions, so far pharmacological and therapeutic approaches remained ineffective to correct at least some of these factors. Today, recovery from hepato-renal syndrome will, therefore, mainly depend on the course of the underlying liver disease.

Abstract
WRK-1, a cloned cell line derived from a rat mammary tumour, responds to physiological concentrations of vasopressin and pharmacological concentrations of oxytocin with increased incorporation of [14C]acetate into lipids and increased protein accumulation. The presence of pharmacological concentrations of insulin, which itself is active on the WRK-1 cells, further enhances the effects of the neurohypophysial hormones. Unlike the action of vasopressin on other responsive tissues, the stimulation of acetate incorporation by WRK-1 cells is not observed until 24 h after the addition of the hormone. The lipids synthesized in response to the hormones are predominantly polar lipids, rather than the triclyclycerold characteristic of the differentiated mammary gland. [1-Deaminocysteine, 8-D-arginine] vasopressin, a vasopressin analogue that lacks pressor activity, has no effect on WRK-1 cells.

Abstract
ADP, adrenaline and vasopressin interact positively as agonists in aggregating human blood platelets in vitro. This interaction is maximal if the addition of two of the agonists is separated by 10--20 s but decreases rapidly at longer intervals especially at low agonist concentrations. The agonist concentrations at which positive interaction gives full aggregation are significantly less than those required for such a response to each agonist alone. The lowest concentrations at which adrenaline and vasopressin interact positively are at least two orders of magnitude greater than the normal blood concentrations of these hormones, and at least an order of magnitude greater than the concentrations achieved in pathological states. Specifically antagonizing the adrenaline and ADP receptors showed that the response was to the second agonist added to the system. An inhibitor of intracellular Ca2+ movement (tetracaine) is equally effective in blocking the responses generated by a single agonist or by interaction of two agonists. Inhibitors which increase cyclic-3',5'-AMP concentration (adenosine, prostaglandin E1, dipyridamole) are more effective against the response to a single agonist than that to agonist interaction. These data suggest that positive agonist interaction results from effects on the concentrations of second messengers within the platelet rather than from a direct interaction on the membrane receptors or the transmembrane coupling mechanisms.

Abstract
A radioimmunoassay for 8-arginine-vasopressin (AVP) measurement in human plasma has been developed and evaluated, using a commercial preparation of an antibody of AVP. Detection limit of the assay was 0.4 pg. A simple acetone extraction procedure gave a recovery of 65% of added [125I]AVP. The overall sensitivity in the assay was 1.0 pg/ml when 2 ml plasma samples were extracted. The antigenic sites of the employed antibody seemed to be a combination of amino acid residues in the tripeptide tail and the pentapeptide ring. This can explain that the antibody was almost completely insensitive to chemically or enzymatically degraded AVP. The inter-assay coefficient of variation for the control plasma pools averaged 17%. A good correlation to plasma osmolalities above 290 has been found. AVP level in recumbent subjects (n = 8) with plasma osmolalities in the normal range was 2.8 +/- 1.0 pg/ml (mean +/- SD) and in ambulatory subjects (n = 10) on ad lib. water intake 4.5 +/- 1.9 pg/ml (mean /+- SD).

Abstract
In cardiopulmonary bypass the effect on plasma vasopressin levels of the addition of whole blood to the pump priming solution was measured. Six patients (Group I) had blood added to the lactated Ringer's solution for the prime, and six patients (Group II) had only lactated Ringer's solution. Neither group had significant changes in plasma vasopressin levels until surgical stimulation occurred. Comparable significant elevations occurred during bypass in both groups. Greater decreases in haematocrit and urinary K+ and greater increases in urinary Na+ occurred in Group II. The degree of haemodilution does not appear to effect plasma vasopressin levels but may alter the degree of electrolyte shift.

Abstract
1. In order to evaluate the effects of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on the distribution of intrarenal blood flow and on electrolyte excretion, steady-state plasma AVP levels (4-8, 19-1, 44-3, and 100-6 micro u./ml.) were produced in anaesthetized dogs, which were hydrated to minimize endogenous anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) release. 2. The urinary excretion of sodium and potassium increased without change in their filtered loads during AVP infusion. 3. Measurement by the 133xenon washout method revealed diphasic blood flow shifts, as a function of the plasma AVP level, between compartment 1 (outer cortex) and compartment 2 (inner cortex and outer medulla) without change in compartment 3 (inner medulla). 4. In a separate study, the radioactive microsphere (15 micronm) method was used with a plasma AVP levels of 19-8 micronu./ml. Blood flow (expressed as % flow/g tissue) decreased in the outer cortex and increased in the inner cortex. 5. Total renal blood flow did not change during infusion of AVP. However, the values measured by 133xenon were lower than those measured by the microsphere method. 6. There was agreement between these two independent methods that blood flow shifted from outer to inner cortex, with no change in total renal flow, at similar plasma AVP levels (19-1 and 19-8 micronu./ml.). The relationship of these intrarenal circulatory changes to the increased electrolyte excretion is discussed.

Abstract
A study of plasma arginine vasopressin in 17 patients with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) associated with bronchogenic carcinoma, revealed that the arginine vasopressin levels were distinctly elevated in most. In 14 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma, but without overt SIADH, plasma levels of arginine vasopressin were significantly higher than in normal subjects (p less than 0.001). This, together with the finding of a lower than normal plasma osmolality in this group, suggests that inappropriate ADH excess might be much more common in patients with bronchogenic carcinoma than previously thought. The normal positive correlation between plasma osmolality and plasma arginine vasopressin was found to be reversed in SIADH. Seven of nine patients with overt SIADH, studied after fluid deprivation, showed an increase in plasma arginine vasopressin coincident with an increase in plasma osmolality (r = +0.8, p less than 0.01); in one patient, plasma arginine vasopressin returned to the original level following rehydration. The possibility that this might imply a degree of physiologic control to what is generally considered an autonomous secretion is discussed. It is, however, considered more likely that other factors, including changes in plasma volume and glomerular filtration, might explain the increase in plasma levels of arginine vasopressin.

Abstract
The distribution, blood transport, and metabolic clearance of physiological concentrations of antidiuretic hormone were studied in 10 hydrated normal subjects with radioiodinated arginine vasopressin (125I-AVP). At 37 degrees C no binding of 125I-AVP to plasma proteins could be demonstrated, but some metabolites were associated with plasma proteins. 125I-AVP was rapidly distributed into a space approximating the extracellular fluid volume. Metabolic breakdown products became demonstrable within minutes after injection. The mean metabolic clearance rate of 125I-AVP was 4.1 ml/min/kg and the mean plasma half-life 24.1 min. Renal clearance had a mean value of 80 ml/min and accounted for 27% of the total metabolic clearance. It is concluded that in man antidiuretic hormone circulates as a free (non-protein bound) peptide, diffuses readily into the extracellular fluid space, and is metabolized within minutes. A plasma half-life of 24 min is consistent with the duration of antidiuresis after hormone administration or release.

Abstract
The effects of furosemide were studied on isolated dog kidneys in the absence and in the presence of vasopressin. In the latter condition, furosemide did not modify renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate while both parameters were decreased by the drug in the absence of vasopressin, as they were also reduced by vasopressin alone. This would indicate direct vasoactive effects of furosemide, depending on the previous tone of the vasculature. In the absence of vasopressin, furosemide decreased free water clearance through inhibition of sodium reabsorption in the ascending limb of Henle's loop. On the other hand, in the presence of vasopressin, furosemide increased free water clearance, presumably through reduction of water reabsorption in the collecting duct by enhanced distal tubular flux.

Abstract
I.v. administration of clonidine to conscious dogs induces a water diuresis with hyposmotic urine and minor effect on electrolyte excretion. The diuresis is preceded by an increased urinary PGE excretion, but no change of urinary ADH output is observed. Plasma renin activity decreases. Both ADH infusion and indomethacin pretreatment inhibit the diuretic effect of clonidine. The results support the hypothesis that clonidine-induced water diuresis is mediated via an anti ADH effect due to increased renal prostaglandin activity. Moreover the results suggest that there is no direct stimulation of renin release by PGE.
