Abstract
A few years ago, a teacher who was planning a course in physiology might have allowed an hour to cover the action of antidiuretic hormone. This would have been a reasonable allotment of time; the topic seemed simple and straightforward, especially in comparison to the complex actions of thyroid hormone or the adrenal steroids. Today, this situation has changed; the available information about antidiuretic hormone has increased dramatically, partly because of advances in neurophysiology, partly because of the development of radioimmunoassay technics, and perhaps mostly because of the brilliant contributions of Sutherland and his colleagues in the area of cyclic-AMP . . .
