Abstract

While the existence of an osmotic control for vasopressin (AVP) release has been long recognized, development of a sensitive immunoassay has allowed for better understanding of factors affecting the threshold and sensitivity of AVP release. Individual variation, genetic, environmental, and species differences, and the nature of the solute providing the osmotic stimuli can significantly affect the release of the hormone by altering the threshold and/or the sensitivity of the osmoreceptor. In addition to the hypothalamic osmoreceptor, AVP secretion is also controlled by an anatomically separate pathway which is responsive to nonosmotic stimuli. It appears that both low-pressure (left atrial) and high-pressure (carotid and aortic) receptors via the parasympathetic pathways provide the major nonosmotic pathway for vasopressin release. Such pathways are activated in response to acute systemic hemodynamic changes, stress, and hypoxia. The precise interaction between osmotic and nonosmotic AVP release remains to be clarified. A model of osmotic and nonosmotic interactions, based on available electrophysiologic studies, is presented and its clinical implications are discussed.
