    Abstract:
    Water in amount of 5 ml/100 g body weight was administered through a gastric probe into the stomach in alert rats; subjects-volunteers drank 20 ml of water per 1 kg of body weight. This resulted in diuresis at the peak of which the excreted water fraction reached 23% in rats and 12.4% in human subjects, whereas excretion of the osmotically free water amounted to 0.103 +/- 0.018 ml/min/100 g body weight and 10.0 +/- 1.8 ml/min/1.73 m2 of the body surface, respectively. These data indicate a practically complete inhibition of the arginine vasopressin secretion. On intragastric administration of 10 micrograms of arginine vasopressin or 0.2 microgram of desmopressin, with water in rats, a prolonged and quite obvious antidiuretic response occurred, with a marked increase of reabsorption of the osmotically free water in kidneys. A direct correlation has been found between the dose of the intragastrically administered vasopressin in the dose range from 0.1 to 10 micrograms/100 g body weight and a decrease of clearance of the osmotically free water. In subjects volunteers, an antidiuretic reaction to administration of 0.2 mg of desmopressin with water, was found. The data obtained provide a direct proof of intestinal absorption of nanopeptides without loss of their physiological activity. Significance of the data obtained for physiology of digestion and for clinical medicine, is discussed.
