Jonassen, Thomas E. N., Dominique Promeneur, Sten Christensen, Jørgen S. Petersen, and Søren Nielsen. Decreased vasopressin-mediated renal water reabsorption in rats with chronic aldosterone-receptor blockade. Am. J. Physiol. Renal Physiol. 278: F246–F256, 2000.—Previous studies have suggested that mineralocorticoids are needed for a normal action of vasopressin on collecting duct osmotic water...

Brand, Paul H., Nianning Qi, Patricia J. Metting, and Steven L. Britton. A self-powered constant infusion device for use in unrestrained rats. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 278: H2157–H2162, 2000.—We developed a device that delivers fluid through a catheter at a constant rate and can be used in conscious animals to solve a variety of problems. For example, this device can be used for deliveri...

Guo, Zhi-Ling, and John C. Longhurst. Role of cAMP in activation of ischemically sensitive abdominal visceral afferents. Am. J. Physiol. Heart Circ. Physiol. 278: H843–H852, 2000.—A number of metabolites produced during abdominal ischemia can stimulate and/or sensitize visceral afferents. The precise mechanisms whereby these metabolites act are uncertain. Other studies have shown that the adeny...
