Physiological Effects of Vasopressin on the Kidney,by which VP promotes the concentration of urine; (2) the influence of VP on renal hemodynamics; and (3) the effect of VP on the urinary excretion of sodium. The first topic has been chosen because there have been several exciting new developments in this area and the last two topics because they con

This was soon confirmed by three other investigators (Howell, 1898; Livon, 1898; von Cyon, 1898) and Howell demonstrated that the pressor principle resided in extracts of the posterior lobe. It was from these early observations that V
