Excitation of neuronal function in rabbit caudal ventrolateral medulla elevates plasma vasopressin
Neuroscience Letters
|July 31, 1985
Abstract:
Injection of L-glutamate into the caudal ventrolateral medulla of the rabbit caused a dose-dependent increase in plasma vasopressin. Activity of the A1 noradrenergic cells within the caudal ventrolateral medulla appears to excite the vasopressin-secreting neuroendocrine cells within the hypothalamus.
