Threshold and Receptor Reserve in the Action of Neurohypophyseal Peptides
The interrelationship of several physiological receptors which influence the hydroosmotic response of the toad urinary bladder was studied employing neurohypophyseal peptides, prostaglandin E(1), theophylline, and cyclic nucleotides. The binding property of agonists (pD(2)), synergists (pS(2)), competitive antagonists (pA(2)), and noncompetitive antagonists (pD(2)') was determined after a suita...
متن کاملNew topics in vasopressin receptors and approach to novel drugs: effects of vasopressin receptor on regulations of hormone secretion and metabolisms of glucose, fat, and protein.
The neurohypophyseal peptide [Arg(8)]-vasopressin (AVP) is involved in diverse functions such as the regulation of body fluid homeostasis, metabolism, and hormone secretion. In this study, we analyzed the functional roles of AVP in hormone release and metabolisms of glucose, fat, and protein in mutant mice lacking the V1a (V1aR-KO) or V1b receptor (V1bR-KO). Our study suggests that antagonists ...
متن کاملEarly osmoregulatory stimulation of neurohypophyseal hormone secretion and thirst after gastric NaCl loads.
Cerebral osmoreceptors mediate thirst and neurohypophyseal secretion stimulated by increases in the effective osmolality of plasma (P(osmol)). The present experiments determined whether an intragastric load of hypertonic saline (ig HS; 0.5 M NaCl, 4 ml) would potentiate these responses before induced increases in P(osmol) in the general circulation could be detected by cerebral osmoreceptors. A...
متن کاملInteractive effects of neurohypophyseal neuropeptides with receptor antagonists on passive avoidance behavior: mediation by a cerebral neurohypophyseal hormone receptor?
The neurohypophyseal neuropeptides (Arg8)-vasopressin (AVP) and [pGlu4,Cyt6]AVP-(4-8) (where pGlu is pyroglutamic acid and Cyt is cystine) facilitate the retention of one-trial-learning passive avoidance behavior in rats when administered into the cerebral ventricle immediately after the learning trial. The fragment [pGlu4,Cyt6]AVP-(4-8) was considerably more effective than AVP. Oxytocin (OXT) ...
متن کاملNeurohypophyseal hormone-responsive adenylate cyclase from mammalian kidney.
The investigation was undertaken to evaluate the direct stimulatory effects of neurohypophyseal hormones upon adenylate cyclase activity in a cell-free, particulate fraction derived from the kidney medulla of various mammalian species. The relative affinity of neurohypophyseal hormones for the receptor component of the adenylate cyclase system (as defined by the concentration of hormone require...
