## Background: Agmatine, a putative endogenous ligand for imidazoline receptors, induces numerous biological effects. the agonist clonidine binds to alpha-2 (alpha2) adrenoceptors and imidazoline receptors, and inhibits arginine vasopressin (avp)-stimulated urea permeability (pu) in the rat inner m
We examined the action of high (2 x 10(-8)M) and low (6 x 10(-9)M) concentrations of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on water and urea transport in the rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) using the in vitro microperfusion technique. We measured the hydraulic conductivity (Lp x 10(-6) cm/atm p
