Abstract
Intramuscular injection of 5 U of the antidiuretic hormone vasopressin (Pitressin tannate) in oil evoked a significant creatinuria for 72 hours in fed rats and a significant creatinuria from 24-72 hours in fasted rats, without affecting excretion of creatinine. Aqueous solutions of the hormone (20 U) did not produce significant creatinuria.Keywords
