Abstract
A messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) homologous to the transcript that encodes vasopressin (VP) was detected in the neurointermediate lobe (NIL) of the rat pituitary. The abundance of this transcript is approximately 1/100th the amount detected in the hypothalamus. In rats drinking 2% NaCl-water for 0,2,4, or 10 days, or for 10 days and then tap water for 14 days, the levels of VP mRNA in the NIL were altered in a fashion that paralleled changes in the hypothalamus.Entities:
