Abstract
Located in the midline lamina terminalis of the anterior wall of the third ventricle, the median preoptic nucleus is a thin elongated nucleus stretching around the rostral border of the anterior commissure. Its neuronal elements, composed of various types of excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic neurons, receive afferent neural signals from (1) neighboring subfornical organ and organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis related to plasma osmolality and hormone concentrations, e.g., angiotensin II; (2) from peripheral sensors such as arterial baroreceptors and cutaneous thermosensors. Different sets of these MnPO glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons relay output signals to hypothalamic, midbrain, and medullary regions that drive homeostatic effector responses. Included in the effector responses are (1) thirst, antidiuretic hormone secretion and renal sodium excretion that subserve osmoregulation and body fluid homeostasis; (2) vasoconstriction or dilatation of skin blood vessels, and shivering and brown adipose tissue thermogenesis for core temperature homeostasis; (3) inhibition of hypothalamic and midbrain nuclei that stimulate wakefulness and arousal, thereby promoting both REM and non-REM sleep; and (4) activation of sympathetic pathways that drive vasoconstriction and heart rate to maintain arterial pressure and the perfusion of vital organs. The small size of MnPO belies its massive homeostatic significance.

Abstract
The work of deWardener and colleagues stimulated longstanding interest in natriuretic hormones (NHs). In addition to the atrial peptides (APs), the circulation contains unidentified physiologically relevant NHs. One NH is controlled by the central nervous system (CNS) and likely secreted by the pituitary. Its circulating activity is modulated by salt intake and the prevailing sodium concentration of the blood and intracerebroventricular fluid, and contributes to postprandial and dehydration natriuresis. The other NH, mobilized by atrial stretch, promotes natriuresis by increasing the production of intrarenal dopamine and/or nitric oxide (NO). Both NHs have short (<35 min) circulating half lives, depress renotubular sodium transport, and neither requires the renal nerves. The search for NHs led to endogenous cardiotonic steroids (CTS) including ouabain-, digoxin-, and bufadienolide-like materials. These CTS, given acutely in high nanomole to micromole amounts into the general or renal circulations, inhibit sodium pumps and are natriuretic. Among these CTS, only bufalin is cleared sufficiently rapidly to qualify for an NH-like role. Ouabain-like CTS are cleared slowly, and when given chronically in low daily nanomole amounts, promote sodium retention, augment arterial myogenic tone, reduce renal blood flow and glomerular filtration, suppress NO in the renal vasa recta, and increase sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure. Moreover, lowering total body sodium raises circulating endogenous ouabain. Thus, ouabain-like CTS have physiological actions that, like aldosterone, support renal sodium retention and blood pressure. In conclusion, the mammalian circulation contains two non-AP NHs. Identification of the CNS NH should be a priority.

Abstract
Water drinking elicits profound pressor responses in patients with impaired baroreflex function and in sinoaortic-denervated mice. Healthy subjects show more subtle changes in heart rate and blood pressure with water drinking. The water-induced pressor response appears to be mediated through sympathetic nervous system activation at the spinal level. Indeed, water drinking raises resting energy expenditure in normal weight and obese subjects. The stimulus setting off the response is hypoosmolarity rather than water temperature or gastrointestinal stretch. Studies in mice suggest that this osmopressor response may involve transient receptor potential vanniloid 4 (Trpv4) receptors. However, the (nerve) cell population serving as peripheral osmosensors and the exact transduction mechanisms are still unknown. The osmopressor response can be exploited in the treatment of orthostatic and postprandial hypotension in patients with severe autonomic failure. Furthermore, the osmopressor response acutely improves orthostatic tolerance in healthy subjects and in patients with neurally mediated syncope. The phenomenon should be recognized as an important confounder in cardiovascular and metabolic studies.

Abstract
Systemic osmoregulation is a vital process whereby changes in plasma osmolality, detected by osmoreceptors, modulate ingestive behaviour, sympathetic outflow and renal function to stabilize the tonicity and volume of the extracellular fluid. Furthermore, changes in the central processing of osmosensory signals are likely to affect the hydro-mineral balance and other related aspects of homeostasis, including thermoregulation and cardiovascular balance. Surprisingly little is known about how the brain orchestrates these responses. Here, recent advances in our understanding of the molecular, cellular and network mechanisms that mediate the central control of osmotic homeostasis in mammals are reviewed.

Abstract
1. Many mammals maintain a constant core body temperature in the face of a heat load by using evaporative cooling responses, such as sweating, panting and spreading of saliva. These cooling mechanisms incur a body fluid deficit if the fluid lost as sweat, saliva or respiratory moisture is not replaced by the ingestion of water; body fluid hypertonicity and hypovolaemia result. 2. Evidence in several mammals shows that, as they become dehydrated, evaporative cooling mechanisms such as sweating and panting are inhibited so that further fluid loss from the body is reduced. As a result, core temperature in the dehydrated animal is maintained at a higher than normal level. 3. Increasing the osmotic pressure of plasma has an inhibitory effect on panting and sweating in mammals. It has been proposed that osmoreceptors mediate these inhibitory influences of plasma hypertonicity on sweating and panting. 4. The suppression of panting in dehydrated sheep is mediated by cerebral osmoreceptors that are probably located in the lamina terminalis. We speculate that osmoreceptors in the lamina terminalis may also influence thermoregulatory sweating. 5. When dehydrated animals drink water, sweating and panting resume rapidly before water has been absorbed from the gut. It is likely that the act of drinking initiates a reflex that can override the osmoreceptor inhibition of panting, resulting in core temperature falling back quickly to a normal level.

Abstract
Elevations in plasma osmolality elicit reflex humoral and neural responses. The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is important in humoral responses. We have investigated whether the PVN contributed to the renal nerve reduction that is normally elicited by increased plasma osmolality in the conscious rabbit. Renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) was monitored after an intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline (1.7 M NaCl, 2 ml/min for 7 min). The responses were examined in animals microinjected with muscimol (10 nmol) into, and outside, the PVN to acutely inhibit neuronal function or with kynurenate (25 nmol) to block glutamate receptors. Compared with vehicle, the maximum reduction in RSNA elicited by hypertonic saline was significantly less with muscimol or kynurenate pretreatment into the PVN. A similar study with kynurenate was also performed in sinoaortically denervated rabbits, and similar effects were observed. The effect was specific to the PVN because microinjections of the drugs outside the PVN had no effect on the response. The findings suggest that excitatory inputs into the PVN may be important in the neural responses elicited by elevations in plasma osmolality.

Abstract
The hypothesis that increases in plasma sodium induce natriuresis independently of changes in body fluid volume was tested in six slightly dehydrated seated subjects on controlled sodium intake (150 mmol/day). NaCl (3.85 mmol/kg) was infused intravenously over 90 min as isotonic (Iso) or as hypertonic saline (Hyper, 855 mmol/l). After Hyper, plasma sodium increased by 3% (142.0 +/- 0.6 to 146.2 +/- 0.5 mmol/l). During Iso a small decrease occurred (142.3 +/- 0.6 to 140.3 +/- 0.7 mmol/l). Iso increased estimates of plasma volume significantly more than Hyper. However, renal sodium excretion increased significantly more with Hyper (291 +/- 25 vs. 199 +/- 24 micromol/min). This excess was not mediated by arterial pressure, which actually decreased slightly. Creatinine clearance did not change measurably. Plasma renin activity, ANG II, and aldosterone decreased very similarly in Iso and Hyper. Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide remained unchanged, whereas plasma vasopressin increased with Hyper (1.4 +/- 0.4 to 3.1 +/- 0.5 pg/ml) and decreased (1.3 +/- 0.4 to 0.6 +/- 0.1 pg/ml) after Iso. In conclusion, the natriuretic response to Hyper was 50% larger than to Iso, indicating that renal sodium excretion may be determined partly by plasma sodium concentration. The mechanism is uncertain but appears independent of changes in blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate, the renin system, and atrial natriuretic peptide.

Abstract
The lamina terminalis is situated in the anterior wall of the third ventricle and plays a major role in fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and cardiovascular regulation. The present study examined whether the effects of intracerebroventricular infusion of hypertonic saline and ANG II on renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) were mediated by the lamina terminalis. In control, conscious sheep (n = 5), intracerebroventricular infusions of 0.6 M NaCl (1 ml/h for 20 min) and ANG II (10 nmol/h for 30 min) increased mean arterial pressure (MAP) by 6 +/- 1 (P < 0.001) and 14 +/- 3 mmHg (P < 0.001) and inhibited RSNA by 80 +/- 6 (P < 0.001) and 89 +/- 7% (P < 0.001), respectively. Both treatments reduced plasma renin concentration (PRC). Intracerebroventricular infusion of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (1 ml/h for 30 min) had no effect. In conscious sheep with lesions of the lamina terminalis (n = 6), all of the responses to intracerebroventricular hypertonic saline and ANG II were abolished. In conclusion, the effects of intracerebroventricular hypertonic saline and ANG II on RSNA, PRC, and MAP depend on the integrity of the lamina terminalis, indicating that this site plays an essential role in coordinating the homeostatic responses to changes in brain Na(+) concentration.

Abstract
We investigated urinary changes and thirst induced by infusion of hyperosmotic solutions in freely moving rats. Intracarotid infusions of 0.3 M NaCl (4 ml/20 min, split between both internal carotid arteries) caused a larger increase in excretion of Na(+) and K(+) than intravenous infusions, indicating that cephalic sensors were involved in the response to intracarotid infusions. Intravenous and intracarotid infusions of hyperosmotic glycerol or urea (300 mM in 150 mM NaCl) had little or no effect, suggesting the sensors were outside the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Intracarotid infusion of hypertonic mannitol (300 mM in 150 mM NaCl) was more effective than intravenous infusion, suggesting that cell volume rather than Na(+) concentration of the blood was critical. Similarly, intracarotid infusion (2 ml/20 min, split between both sides), but not intravenous infusion of hypertonic NaCl or mannitol caused thirst. Hyperosmotic glycerol, infused intravenously or into the carotid arteries, did not cause thirst. We conclude that both thirst and electrolyte excretion depend on a cell volume sensor that is located in the head, but outside the BBB.

Abstract
The hypothesis that renal sodium handling is controlled by changes in plasma sodium concentration was tested in seated volunteers. A standard salt load (3.08 mmol/kg body wt over 120 min) was administered as 0.9% saline (Isot) or as 5% saline (Hypr) after 4 days of constant sodium intake of 75 (LoNa+) or 300 mmol/day (HiNa+). Hypr increased plasma sodium by approximately 4 mmol/l but increased plasma volume and central venous pressure significantly less than Isot irrespective of diet. After LoNa+, Hypr induced a smaller increase in sodium excretion than Isot (48 +/- 8 vs. 110 +/- 17 micromol/min). However, after HiNa+ the corresponding natriureses were identical (135 +/- 33 vs. 139 +/- 39 micromol/min), despite significant difference between the increases in central venous pressure. Decreases in plasma ANG II concentrations of 23-52% were inversely related to sodium excretion. Mean arterial pressure, plasma oxytocin and atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations, and urinary excretion rates of endothelin-1 and urodilatin remained unchanged. The results indicate that an increase in plasma sodium may contribute to the natriuresis of salt loading when salt intake is high, supporting the hypothesis that osmostimulated natriuresis is dependent on sodium balance in normal seated humans.

Abstract
In Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and Sprague Dawley rats, high dietary sodium chloride (NaCl) increases natriuretic and diuretic responses to acute isotonic saline infusion, but in NaCl-sensitive spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-S), a high-NaCl diet causes negligible increases in natriuretic and diuretic responses. To investigate whether this deficit in sodium and fluid excretion in SHR-S is stimulus (volume)-specific or because of a more generalized alteration in renal function, the present study measured, in SHR-S and Wistar Kyoto rats, natriuretic and diuretic responses to a hypertonic saline infusion (the amount of sodium infused was equal to that infused in a previous, isotonic experiment). Eight-week-old Wistar Kyoto rats, SHR-S, and salt-resistant SHR were given a basal (1%) or high (8%)-NaCl diet for 2 weeks. Intravenous infusion of hypertonic saline increased mean arterial pressure and reduced heart rate in all groups. Baseline sodium excretion was lower in SHR-S compared with salt-resistant SHR with either diet, but after infusion of hypertonic saline, all 6 groups displayed significant increases in sodium and fluid excretion, glomerular filtration rate, and effective renal blood flow (ERBF). The percent-sodium excretion in response to hypertonic saline infusion was slightly, but significantly, lower in SHR-S (compared with salt-resistant SHR) for either the basal or the high-NaCl diet. We conclude that renal responses to hypertonic saline infusion are affected minimally in SHR-S compared with salt-resistant SHR or Wistar Kyoto rats. Therefore, the deficits in renal function observed in SHR-S after volume loading are not reflected in a renal deficit to hypertonic saline challenge.

Abstract
1. The natriuretic response to intravenous infusion of 2 M-NaCl was investigated in six conscious sheep. This hypertonic NaCl load resulted in relatively small, physiological (2-3 mmol l-1) increases in plasma Na+ concentration and was followed by a natriuresis with a maximum mean urinary sodium excretion 5 times higher than pre-infusion values. 2. Intravenous infusion of isotonic NaCl, delivering the same Na+ load as hypertonic NaCl infusion, did not induce natriuresis. This suggested, therefore, that with the hypertonic sodium load administered in the present study, the rise in plasma Na+ and/or tonicity rather than increase in blood volume is important in evoking the natriuretic response. 3. Intracerebroventricular infusion of low-Na+ artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reduced CSF Na+ concentration, decreased plasma vasopressin (AVP) levels and caused a copious water diuresis. This was associated with excessive loss of water and large increases in plasma Na+ concentration and osmolality. 4. The natriuresis induced by intravenous hypertonic NaCl load could be blocked by lowering CSF Na+ concentration in situations where water diuresis was either prevented or reduced by intravenous infusion of AVP or by delayed intracerebroventricular infusion of low-Na+ CSF, respectively. 5. The results of the present study provide further evidence that renal sodium excretion can be controlled by the central nervous system.

Abstract
Experiments were carried out in seven conscious macaque monkeys undergoing a water diuresis to determine the effects of raising carotid blood sodium concentration on renal sodium excretion and free water clearance. On separate days each animal received an intracarotid infusion of hypertonic sodium chloride (90 Eq NaCl/kg.body wt./min) for 5 to 10 min, the same hypertonic infusion intravenously, and an intracarotid infusion of isotonic NaCl. None of the infusions produced a change in sodium excretion. However, the intracarotid hypertonic infusion produced a sustained decrease in free water excretion while the other infusion did not. Creatinine clearance was not affected by any of the infusions. The results of these experiments support the view that while the brain of the primate contains an osmotic sensing mechanism it does not contain a mechanism which modulates sodium excretion.

Abstract
Reducing the cerebrospinal fluid concentration of NaCl by infusion into a lateral cerebral ventricle of isotonic solutions of 0.3 mol/l mannitol or sucrose at 1 ml/h for 2 h caused a large reduction in renal Na excretion in conscious sheep deprived of water for 24 or 48 h. Infusion of 0.3 mol/l mannitol into the lateral ventricle of water-replete sheep did not alter renal Na excretion but induced a water diuresis. These data indicate that during dehydration, renal Na excretion may be under the control of the brain. The pathway(s) from brain to kidney mediating this antinatriuretic effect are not known.

Abstract
Water deprivation caused daily urinary Na output to more than double in normal sheep, but caused no increase in Na excretion in sheep (A3VL-sheep) in which the anterior third ventricle wall had been ablated. Dehydrated A3VL-sheep exhibited a much greater degree of hypernatremia than dehydrated normal sheep, although water losses were similar in both groups. We postulate that the natriuresis induced by dehydration is a cerebrally mediated homeostatic response.

Abstract
The aim was to study differences in filtration driving forces and glomerular filtration rates between superficial and deep nephrons when urine flow rate was altered at the macula densa region. In young rats stop-flow pressures and single nephron glomerular filtration rates (SNGFR) were measured in the superficial proximal tubules and in the loops of Henle in the papilla. SNGFR was also measured with a modified Hanssen technique. The stop-flow pressures of superficial nephrons amounted to 30.9 +/- 0.8 mmHg (mean +/- SE) and those of juxtamedullary nephrons to 52.2 +/- 1.6 mmHg. In the stop-flow condition the net driving filtration forces were calculated to be about 19 mmHg and 50 mmHg for the superficial and deep glomeruli, respectively. In free flow conditions both net driving forces were calculated to be 19 mmHg. The micropuncture technique gave a SNGFR value for superficial nephrons of 29.6 +/- 2.9 and for deep nephrons of 84.1 +/- 8.5 nl x min-1 . g-1 kidney weight (KW). With a modified Hanssen technique the corresponding values were 25.8 +/- 3.3 and 27.7 +/- 2.9 nl . min-1 . g-1 KW. The tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism is considered to have a powerful regulatory influence on the glomerular filtration rate of deep nephrons.

Abstract
Verney's hypothesis of cerebral osmoreceptors controlling the renal excretion of water via vasopressin was reinvestigated in conscious trained dogs provided with bilateral skin loops containing the common carotid arteries. In multiple experiments in two dogs, bilateral intracarotid injections (0.25 ml. (kg b.wt.)-1 per artery in 10 s) of a hyperosmotic solution of sodium chloride (0.257 mol/l) during transient water diuresis failed to produce an antidiuretic response, although it is estimated that the injections elevated the osmolality of the carotid blood by 12-15%. In another 5 dogs, Bilateral intracarotid infusions of hyperosmotic saline (45 mumol.(kg b wt..min)-1 per artery for 10 min) during sustained water diuresis resulted in a 3% increase in jugular venous osmolality and an antidiuretic response without detectable changes in heart rate or mean arterial pressure. Equal intravenous hyperosmotic or intracarotid isosmotic infusions were not associated with antidiuretic response. Analysis of the concomitant concentrations of vasopressin in plasma fell short of supporting the hypothesis that the antidiuretic response to intracarotid hyperosmotic infusions was exclusively or mainly due to liberation of vasopressin, although the renal response could be mimicked by exogenous vasopressin. It is concluded that the present results-although discordant with several of Verney's results and assumptions-nevertheless support the concept of a cerebral solute receptor influencing the rate of renal water excretion.

Abstract
1. ADH secretion was studied in trained, preoperated conscious monkeys undergoing water diuresis after administration of isosmolar hypertonic solutions of different substances into any one of the following sites: (i) anterior third ventricle, (ii) the hypothalamus, just anterior to the third ventricle and (iii) common carotid artery. 2. Free water clearance was continuously monitored and the ADH released was measured by bio-assay on the same animals after administering graded doses of standard arginine vasopressin in a comparable manner. 3. Intraventricular infusions of hypertonic solutions of NaCl or Na acetate released significant amounts of ADH while sucrose or mannitol of comparable osmolality were ineffective. Graded increases in the concentration of NaCl infused into the c.s.f. resulted in secretion of ADH proportional to log Na concentration. 4. Infusion of the same hypertonic solutions into the anterior hypothalamus released ADH, though Na salts were more effective than the sugars. 5. Hypertonic solutions of NaCl, Na acetate, sucrose or mannitol were effective in releasing ADH when injected via the carotid artery, but hypertonic solutions of NaCl were significantly more effective than the other solutions. 6. These findings may be explained by the hypothesis that the 'osmoreceptors' of Verney are Na sensitive receptors composed of dendrites innervating the specialized ependyma of the anterior part of the third ventricle.

Abstract
1. The effects of hypertonic saline infusion into the third ventricle were investigated in ten monkeys which were pre-operated, trained, and used in the conscious state under controlled conditions. 2. In non-hydrated monkeys, intraventricular infusion of NaCl 1.0 M, 0.01 ml./min for 30 min did not affect urine volume or Na output but produced a small increase in urine osmolality. Comparable infusion of NaCl 0.15 M had no effect on any parameter. 3. In monkeys undergoing water diuresis (with i.v. infusion of 5% dextrose), intraventricular hypertonic saline produced large reciprocal changes in urine volume and osmolality while urine Na showed no significant change. The effects on urine volume and osmolality were greater than those of lysine-vasopressin 30 m-u./kg i.v. 4. The absence of natriuresis after intraventricular hypertonic saline infusion in the monkey was in notable contrast to the results reported in lower species. However, the data suggested that the infusion probably released ADH as in other species.
