Sodium and Depression: Hypothetical Associations
نویسنده
چکیده
Serum sodium concentration and thus serum osmolality are closely controlled by water homeostasis, which is mediated by thirst, arginine vasopressin (AVP, also known as vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH)), and the kidneys. Thirst and ADH act in parallel to control plasma osmolality and sodium concentration. The physiology of thirst is a highly complex process that must be controlled by a variety of somatomotor, autonomic, and endocrine responses. Increases in plasma osmolality and decreases in plasma volume are the most important stimuli to increase thirst and vasopressin release (4).
