From: Apoptosis of supraoptic AVP neurons is involved in the development of central diabetes insipidus after hypophysectomy in rats

Figure 1

Dynamic change of daily water consumption (DWC), daily urine volume (DUV), urine specific gravity (USG) and plasma AVP concentration after hypophysectomy. DWC, DUV and USG remained relatively constant over the entire period of observation in control group while there was a triphasic pattern in hypophysectomy rats. Phase I: a sharply changes during the first 3 days after surgery; Phase II: a comparable low level with those in control group at 4–8 d; Phase III: increased of DWC and DUV and decreased USG again in the following days. Plasma AVP concentration in hypophysectomy group was less than that in control group statistically significantly.
