Calcium: its role in the mechanism of action of angiotensin II and potassium in aldosterone production.

abstract：:Levels of vasopressin, oxytocin, and neurophysin were measured by RIA in the hypothalamus, pituitary, and plasma of infant rats (2-30 days old). At all ages, ip injection of a hypertonic solution of 5 g/100 ml NaCl produced a marked increase in levels of vasopressin and neurophpysin in plasma, up to 21 microU/ml and 5...
