Deoxycorticosterone stimulates the activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase/nitric oxide synthase immunoreactivity in hypothalamic nuclei of rats

Mineralocorticoids (MC) play an important role in development of salt appetite. Part of this effect involves the hypothalamic paraventricular (PVN) and supraoptic (SON) nuclei, in which MC treatment increases arginine vasopressin (AVP) synthesis and release. Since the AVP system is also modulated by...
