Popis: | Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of the kappa-opiate receptor agonist U 69.593 induces a rapid and short lasting suppression of oxytocin (OXT) levels in plasma of water deprived rats, whereas only a tendency towards a suppression of vasopressin (AVP) levels in plasma is observed. No change in neurohypophyseal hormone levels in CSF occurs following i.c.v. administration of U 69.593 at the various times points studied. It is concluded that, upon i.c.v. administration, the suppressive influence of U 69.593 is much weaker than that of the dynorphins and that neurophypophyseal hormone levels in CSF behave differently from those in the peripheral circulation. |
