Abstract
ABSTRACTHypothalamic magnocellular neurons are essential participants in the regulation of hydromineral homeostasis, secreting the neuropeptide arginine-vasopressin (AVP). Such fact occurs due to its ability to be osmosensitive - the release of AVP occurs in response to changes in the body (such as hyperosmolarity caused by intracellular dehydration); these changes lead to cell shrinkage …
