Introduction: The effects of dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT), histamine (HA) adrenaline (ADR), noradrenaline (NADR) and K+ administration on vasopressin (VP) secretion were studied in 13–14 days cultures of rat neurohypophyseal (NH) cells, and it was examined whether orexin (ORX) can modify the VP release enhancement induced by these monoaminergic compounds.Methods: An enzymatic dissociation technique was used to prepare the rat NH cell c...
