The authors made peritoneal dialisis with 5% of glucose (7 ml/kg of body weight) in 11 dogs under the conditions of an acute experiments. They examined cortiosl and ADH activity, hematocrite and plasma protein in the samples of blood, obtained on the 20th and 50th minute. ADH was titrated biologicaly by a new method, proposed by Nacev. The results were compared with the changes in the circulatory and renal indices, obtained at the same procedure in the preceding investigations. There was an increase in the cortisol and ADH activity, which could be explained by the total hypovolemia, induced by peritoneal dialisis. The increase of the cortisol level is described as a separate link in a more complex mechanism, assuring metabolic homeostasis.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex heterogenous disorder manifesting with various reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic derangements such as insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. The arginine vasopressin peptide (AVP), also called or antidiuretic hormone (ADH), modulates metabolic functions such as glucose hemostasis, insulin sensitivity, and lipid metabolism via binding to two central and peripheral receptors (AVPR1A and AVPR1B). In the present study, we aimed to detect whether the AVPR1A and AVPR1B genes confer risk for PCOS.

Article Synopsis
- - Sodium imbalance is a frequent issue in COVID-19, often caused by hormonal disruptions, particularly involving conditions like hypothyroidism and hypocortisolism, which can both lead to lower sodium levels (hyponatremia).
- - Hypocortisolism, resulting from adrenal or pituitary issues, affects the kidneys' ability to excrete water properly and increases the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), further diluting sodium levels.
- - The review emphasizes that the relationship between COVID-19 and sodium imbalance is complicated by factors like the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) being impacted by the virus, highlighting the need for more research to better manage these disturbances in affected
