Dehydrated dogs are known to inhibit secretion of vasopressin (VP) within minutes after drinking water, before plasma osmolality (Posmol) diminishes. The present studies determined whether water ingestion causes a similar rapid inhibition of neurohypophyseal hormone secretion in rats. Adult rats were infused with 1 M NaCl (2 ml/h iv) for 240 min to stimulate VP and oxytocin (OT) secretion. After 220 min of infusion, rats were given water to drink for 5 min, and blood samples were taken 5 and 15 min later for RIA. Plasma VP (pVP) was much lower when rats ingested water than when they drank nothing even though Posmol was not significantly altered. Plasma OT (pOT) was affected similarly. In contrast, no effects on pVP or pOT occurred when rats drank isotonic NaCl solution for 5 min in amounts comparable to the water intakes (~5.5 ml). These results suggest that neurohypophyseal secretion of VP and OT in rats is inhibited rapidly by water drinking, and that this inhibition is mediated by a visceral signal of osmotic dilution rather than by the act of drinking per se.
