Highlights strain differences in AVP responses to hypovolemia; leaves open clinical relevance of central V1 blockade in humans.
Does central V1 or V2 AVP receptor blockade alter cardiovascular adaptation to hypovolemia in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats?
Central V1 AVP receptors mediate hypovolemic bradycardia and hypotension in normotensive rats, but this adaptive mechanism is impaired in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Budzikowski et al. (1996) studied this question.
