Abstract
Summary
The highly variable pressor response to exogenous vasopressin was studied in pentobarbital anesthetized dogs. It was demonstrated that exogenous vasopressin causes a release of catecholamines from stores in the central nervous system as measured in the cavernous sinus blood. When the circulation to the central nervous system is occluded the pressor response to exogenous vasopressin is greatly reduced.
