Summary

Rats euhydrated and dehydrated for two days were given intracerebroventricularly (i.c.v.) propranolol hydrochloride in a daily dose of 10 µg. In euhydrated rats the single dose of propranolol diminished significantly the vasopressin and oxytocin content in the neurohypophysis. On the contrary, in animals dehydrated for two days the depletion of the vasopressin and oxytocin neurohypophysial storage was distinctly less marked during i.c.v. treatment with propranolol.

Key words
