Effect of Vasopressin on Water Transport in the Kidney: Possible Role of Microtubules and Microfilaments

  • Chapter

Abstract

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) plays an important role in water conservation1. In the mammal, ADH may have some effects on urinary sodium2 and phosphate3 excretion but this is of minor physiological importance as compared with the regulation of water metabolism. The control of water excretion depends on a unique characteristic of the permeability to water of the renal collecting tubule epithelium. This permeability increases under the influence of ADH.
