| Abstract: | The relationship of endogenous opiate peptides of rat neuro-intermediate lobe to the release of neurohypophysial peptides has been investigated. Both dehydrated rats, with increased oxytocin and vasopressin release, as well as rats homozygous for hypothalamic diabetes insipidus (DI) of the Brattleboro strain, with increased oxytocin release, showed significantly decreased levels of pituitary opiate peptides. We suggest that neuro-intermediate lobe opiate peptides may modulate the release of neurohypophysial antidiuretic peptides. |
