Central nervous system effects of the
neurohypophyseal hormones and related peptides.
To prevent excessive water influx, the skin of Xenopus laevis shows low water permeability and does not respond to
neurohypophyseal peptides (Bentley, 1998, 2002).
It works through the interconnection of the sympathoadrenal and
neurohypophyseal systems, which in turn are responsible for catecholamine secretion, cytokines activation and vasopressin release, respectively.

Together with AVP and neurophysin 11, copeptin, the stable C-terminal part of the AVP precursor, is stored in
neurohypophyseal vesicles until secretion upon osmotic and haemodynamic stimuli (1).
The oxytocin present in the
neurohypophyseal extract of bovine demonstrated no interference with the antidiuretic effect of Vasopressin.
