Abstract
Contractile properties of helical auricular arterial strips from warm- and cold-acclimated (WA and CA, respectively) rabbits were studied to determine whether vascular smooth muscle shows a cold-induced changes in response to vasopressin (Vp) similar to the effect seen with catecholamines. The CA response was decreased at all Vp concentrations tested and the decreases were significant at doses between 0.4-100.0 mUnits Vp/ml. Results are discussed the relation to the altered renal tubular response to Vp which reportedly occurs in cold-acclimated animals.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
