ABSTRACT Using implanted minipumps it was shown over a period of 7 days that the vasopressin antagonist, 1-deamino-pentamethylene-2-d-Phe-4-Ile-arginine vasopressin, caused increased diuresis in normal rats and reversed vasopressin- or oxytocin-induced antidiuresis in Brattleboro rats. When the antagonist was infused alone in Brattleboro rats it induced a marked antidiuretic response, indicating that the analogue also possessed agonistic properties. The agonist action could not be demonstrated in anaesthetized, hydrated normal rats. In these animals the analogue behaved as a pure antagonist. It is concluded that analogues which behave as antagonists in one test model may display agonistic properties under different experimental conditions. J. Endocr. (1987) 112, 439–442

The effects of 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) on superficial and juxtamedullary nephrons were investigated by micropuncture in diabetes insipidus (DI) Brattleboro rats chronically treated with the peptide. The rats, acutely deprived of endogenous calcitonin, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and glucagon [hormone-deprived (HD) rats], were examined either 4 days after cessation of dDAVP treatment (HDT, control diuretic rats) or when the treatment was continued until the micropuncture experiment, during which dDAVP was also given intravenously (HDT + dDAVP, experimental nondiuretic rats). In the presence of dDAVP, the reabsorption of Cl, Na, Mg, and Ca by the superficial loop of Henle was significantly increased, as previously observed in HD-untreated rats during acute infusion of dDAVP. The effects on the superficial distal tubule were also similar. The effects on K, however, were different both in the loop and in the distal tubule. At the bend of the juxtamedullary nephrons, the treatment alone (HDT rats) increased fractional delivery (FD%) of Na and Cl, whereas FD% of Mg, Ca, K, and P was unaltered. In HDT + dDAVP rats, FD% of H2O, Cl, Na, and Ca was significantly lower than in HDT rats, and FD% of K, Mg, and P did not differ significantly. In conclusion, in the presence of dDAVP, the FD% of H2O, Na, and Cl at the bend of the long-loop nephrons decreases, in accordance with our previous hypothesis that water removal along the rat descending limb increases outward NaCl diffusion along this segment.

The possibility that sympathetic nervous system activity may be altered in Brattleboro rats with diabetes insipidus (DI) was studied using the norepinephrine (NE) turnover technique. Female DI and Long-Evans rats were used. NE turnover in peripheral organs was calculated by measuring the decline in tissue [NE] after inhibition of tyrosine hydroxylase with alpha-methyltyrosine. NE turnover was increased significantly in the kidney of DI rats but was not significantly altered in other peripheral organs examined (heart, duodenum, skeletal muscle). Both NE and epinephrine concentrations in the adrenal gland were significantly higher in the DI rats. Treatment of DI rats for 7 days with vasopressin tannate (Pitressin, 100 mU/100 g) or 1-deamino-[8-D-arginine] vasopressin (DDAVP, 250 ng X kg-1 X day-1) reversed the changes in renal NE turnover and also decreased the turnover in other tissues. The results of these studies suggest that, compared with Long-Evans rats, DI rats have a selective increase in NE turnover in the kidney and the potential to release more catecholamines from the adrenal glands. The apparently nonspecific effect of antidiuretic therapy on NE turnover in DI rats is probably mediated by the epithelial receptor for vasopressin, because both Pitressin and DDAVP produced similar results.
