Rat neural lobes and isolated nerve terminals from the neurohypophysis were stimulated in the presence of different opioid agonists and antagonists. The secretion of arginine vasopressin and oxytocin and rise in cytoplasmic calcium induced by depolarization were analyzed by radioimmunoassay and the
