Selective Blockade of Oxytocin and Vasopressin V1a Receptors in Anaesthetised Rats: Evidence that Activation of Oxytocin Receptors rather than V1a Receptors Increases Sodium Excretion

Background: Although it is known that moderate-to-high doses of the neurohypophysial hormones oxytocin and vasopressin are natriuretic, doubts remain over the identity of the receptors responsible. To address this issue, we have used highly selective antagonists of oxytocin and vasopressin receptors...
