Popis: Endocrine and renal parameters were measured in a desert rodent, Meriones crassus. In virgin females, the urine and plasma osmolality was 2018 +/- 136 and 325 +/- 3 mosm/kg (m +/- SEM), the level of circulating vasopressin, 162 +/- 22 pg/ml and the plasma renin activity 14.3 +/- 0.9 ng/ml per h. During pregnancy, the renin-angiotensin system was activated, and the plasma vasopressin values remained similar to those of virgin animals in spite of a lower blood plasma osmotic pressure. During this period, the regulation of the hydromineral balance was modified. These data suggest a lowering of the osmotic thresholds for vasopressin and possibly also for thirst during pregnancy in this desert rodent.
