Antidiuretic hormone liberated the vertebrates from their aqueous environment, and permitted them to establish themselves on dry land. The combination of sensitive volume and osmoreceptors, a pituitary secretory apparatus which can vary its output from virtually zero to high levels in a short space of time, and receptor cells functioning in the ...

The concept that secretion of the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin, is regulated by the osmolality of body water originated with the pioneering studies of Verney over 25 years ago [1]. In a classical series of experiments, this investigator showed that the injection of hypertonic saline into the carotid artery of conscious, hydrated dogs ...
