【 摘 要 】

a-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH; 0.6 and 3 nmol) microinjected into the anteroventral region of the third ventricle (AV3V) induced a significant increase in diuresis without modifying natriuresis or kaliuresis. Intraperitoneal (ip) injection of a-MSH (3 and 9.6 nmol) induced a significant increase in urinary sodium, potassium and water excretion. Intraperitoneal (3 and 4.8 nmol) or iv (3 and 9.6 nmol) administration of a-MSH did not induce any significant changes in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), suggesting that the natriuresis, kaliuresis and diuresis induced by the systemic action of a-MSH can be dissociated from the increase in plasma ANP. These preliminary results suggest that a-MSH may be involved in a g-MSH-independent mechanism of regulation of hydromineral metabolism
