Summary

The i.v. bolus of 50 ng kg−1 Arginine-vasopressin administered to adult male rats anaesthetized with Pentobarbital (50 mg kg−1 i. p.) increases the activity of liver glycogen phosphorylase in fed and 24 h fasted rats to the same extent; after 25 ng kg−1 of the drug the enzyme response after fasting is barely detectable, whereas in the fed animals a response similar to that after 50 ng kg−1 persists.
