Adaptive resetting of the volume control of vasopressin secretion during sustained hypovolemia

To determine the effect of sustained hypovolemia on vasopressin secretion, we studied rats after 1-32 h of diuretic therapy. We found that an injection of furosemide (10 mg/kg) produced a transient marked increase in urine output, a moderate 7-10% reduction in blood volume, and a three- to fourfold rise in plasma vasopressin from 1.6 +/- 0.2 to 5.6 +/- 1.0 pmol/l. When the hypovolemia was maintained by repeated injections of the diuretic, plasma vasopressin remained elevated for > or = 8 h but returned almost to normal by 32 h, even though plasma electrolytes, blood pressure, hematocrit, and the other measures of hypovolemia were unchanged. At this time, pituitary vasopressin was undiminished, and plasma vasopressin rose normally or even supranormally when an acute hypovolemic or osmotic stimulus (intraperitoneal polyethylene glycol or hypertonic saline) was superimposed. However, the lines describing the relationship of log plasma vasopressin to plasma volume and plasma sodium in the rats treated with furosemide for 32 h lay to the left of the same relationships in the rats treated for 8 h or the sham-treated controls. We conclude that, in rats, the vasopressin response to sustained hypovolemia persists for > or = 8 h but is markedly diminished by 32 h. The decline in plasma vasopressin during this interval appears to be due to adaptive resetting of the volume control mechanism.
