The relationship between sinoaortic baroreceptors, atrial receptors and the release of vasopressin in the anaesthetized rabbit
Vasopressin, a hormone released from the neurohypophysis, contributes to the regulation of body fluid balance through its known actions on the kidney and the vasculature. Release of vasopressin is influenced by plasma osmolality and by afferent activity from sensory receptors in the high and low pre...
