Neurochemical Circuits Subserving Fluid Balance and Baroreflex: A Role for Serotonin, Oxytocin, and Gonadal Steroids

Abstract

Changes in body water/sodium balance are tightly controlled by the central nervous system (CNS) to avoid abnormal cardiovascular function and the development of pathological states. Every time there is a disturbance in extracellular sodium concentration or body sodium content, there is also a change in extracellular uid volume...
