Neuroanatomical Pathways Related to Vasopressin

  • Conference paper
Neurobiology of Vasopressin

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Neuroendocrinology ((CT NEUROENDOCRI,volume 4))

Abstract

Vasopressin and oxytocin are hormones of the neurohypophysis (the posterior pituitary “gland”) best known for their peripheral endocrine effects: regulation of antidiuresis and blood pressure, contraction of smooth muscles of the uterus during labour and of the mammary gland during milk ejection respectively. Additional actions on various peripheral organs have been described, e. g., blood clotting (Mannucci et al. 1975), and liver metabolism (Keppens and De Wulf 1979; Martin and Baverel 1981).
