abstract：:Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is an endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor peptide with potent pressor activity. We studied the effect of ET-1 on release of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) from perifused rat hypothalamus. ET-1 (10(-10) to 10(-8) M) significantly stimulated AVP release. The ET-1-induced AVP release was completely blocke...
