Abstract
It is well known that enkephalins in the brain, unlike the adrenal gland and sympathetic nervous system, coexist with vasopressinergic neurons in the hypothalamoneuro- hypophyseal system (Martin and Voigt 1981; Martin et al. 1983). Moreover, the enkephalin contents of this region have been reported to decrease in dehydrated rats and/or Brattleboro rats with a genetic defect in vasopressin synthesis (Marina et al. 1977; Rossier et al. 1979). Furthermore, it has recently been documented that plasma enkephalin-like immunoreactivity is increased in animals with endotoxic or hemorrhagic shock (Evans et al. 1984; Lang et al. 1982), reminiscent of vasopressin release in hypotensive shock (Share 1974).
