Clonidine 0-9 arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus 49-60 3996466-1 1985 The effect of clonidine on vasopressin release was studied in chloralose anesthetized rats which were made hypertensive by bilateral electrolytic lesions of the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS). Clonidine 14-23 arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus 27-38 3996466-3 1985 Furthermore, the ability of a vasopressin antagonist to lower arterial pressure in NTS hypertensive rats was markedly attenuated by clonidine treatment. Clonidine 132-141 arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus 30-41 3996466-5 1985 These data demonstrate that part of the antihypertensive effect of clonidine in NTS hypertensive rats is due to inhibition of vasopressin release into the circulation. Clonidine 67-76 arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus 126-137
