abstract：:The water permeability of collecting ducts is greatly increased by the antidiuretic hormone, vasopressin (VP). Freeze-fracture studies were carried out to test if this permeability increase is associated with the appearance of intramembrane particle (IMP) aggregates and whether increased doses of VP lead to an increas...
