Influence of hypovolemic and hypertonic treatments on plasma vasopressin levels and fluid balance in the propylthiouracil-induced hypothyroid rat.
: This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of hypovolemic and hypertonic treatments on plasma vasopressin (AVP) levels and fluid balance in propylthiouracil (PTU)-induced hypothyroidism in the rat. The influence of hypothyroidism on AVP responsiveness to hypertonic and hypovolemic stimuli were compared. Adult male rats were .....
