Abstract

The effects of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) on some immune parameters of rats were studied by using icv of AVP. The hemolysin to sheep red blood cell and IgG production were enhanced by icv of 100, 800 ng AVP. Both the actions were partly blocked by icv preinjection of the V_(1) receptor antagonist DPAVP. It was also found that the NE and corticosterone levels in the serum of rats were significantly reduced after icv of AVP.
