since , first of all , the deficit was similar in the numbers of v1 and v2 receptors in hypothyroid rats , and , secondly , the treatment of hypothyroid rats by two daily physiological doses of long lasting vasopressin was found ineffective to recover the deficit in the number of v2 receptors , it can be concluded that thyroid deficiency directly alters vasopressin receptor biosynthesis in both liver and kidney , instead of acting via the depressed plasma vasopressin level .
