Neuroendocrine control of body fluid homeostasis.
Angiotensin II and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) play important and opposite roles in the control of water and salt intake, with angiotensin II promoting the intake of both and ANP inhibiting the intake of both. Following blood volume expansion, baroreceptor input to the brainstem induces the release of ANP within the hypothalamus that releases oxytocin (OT) that acts on its receptors in the...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine control of body fluid metabolism.
Mammals control the volume and osmolality of their body fluids from stimuli that arise from both the intracellular and extracellular fluid compartments. These stimuli are sensed by two kinds of receptors: osmoreceptor-Na+ receptors and volume or pressure receptors. This information is conveyed to specific areas of the central nervous system responsible for an integrated response, which depends ...
متن کاملBrain angiotensin and body fluid homeostasis.
Angiotensinogen, the precursor molecule of the peptides angiotensin I, II, and III, is synthesized in the brain and the liver. Evidence is reviewed that angiotensin II, and possibly angiotensin III, that are generated within the brain act within neural circuits of the central nervous system to regulate body fluid balance. Immunohistochemical studies in the rat brain have provided evidence of an...
متن کاملSignalling in body-weight homeostasis: neuroendocrine efferent signals.
Whilst a number of neuroendocrine afferent signals are implicated in body-weight homeostasis, the major efferent pathway is the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which affects both energy expenditure and substrate utilization. Thyroid hormones and their interactions with the SNS may also have a role to play. Some of the variability in resting energy expenditure can be explained by differences i...
