UNII Y87Y826H08 - VASOPRESSIN, UNSPECIFIED
|
|
The antidiuretic action of vasopressin is ascribed to increase in reabsorption of water by the renal tubules. Vasopressin can cause contraction of smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, gall bladder, urinary bladder and all parts of the vascular bed, especially the capillaries, small arterioles and venules with less effect on the smooth musculature of the large veins. The direct effect on the contractile elements is neither antagonised by adrenergic blocking agents nor prevented by vascular denervation. |
