Comparative Aspects of Osmoregulation

  • Chapter
Functional Morphology of Neuroendocrine Systems

Abstract

Salt and fluid homeostasis in vertebrates involves two important peptide hormones with well-defined systemic sites of action: 8Arg-vasopressin/vasotocin (AVP/AVT) and 5I1e-/5Val-angiotensin II (ANG II). Neuronal systems producing AVP/AVT are, however, not confined to the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal system but establish numerous extrahypothalamic connections (Zimmerman 1981; Berk et al. 1982). More recently ANG II has also been identified as a neuropeptide by biochemical and immunocytochemical techniques (Ganong 1984; Lind et al. 1985).
