Effects of centrally or systemically injected glucagon-like peptide-1 (7–36) amide on release of neurohypophysial hormones and blood pressure in the rat

E Bojanowska, B Stempniak - Regulatory peptides, 2000 - Elsevier
The present study was designed to compare the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (7–36)
amide (GLP-1) injected centrally or systemically in a dose range of 10–10 000 ng on the
vasopressin and oxytocin release as well as the blood pressure in the rat. The urethane-
anaesthetised Wistar male and female rats were fitted with venous as well as arterial
catheters and, in the second study, additionally with the intracerebroventricular cannula. The
arterial blood pressure was monitored throughout the experiment. The plasma …
