Effect of dehydration and arginine vasopressin treatment (Arg-VP Sigma, USA, 50 ng/100 g b.wt. ip.) on the blood plasma hyaluronidase activity in Wistar rats was studied. It was found that the pH optimum of the enzyme activity was in the range of 3.5-3.7 that is characteristic for the hyaluronidase type 1. Water deprivation for 1 day was followed by significant increase in the blood plasma hyaluronidase activity. The same response was observed under vasopressin treatment. The possible role of increased plasma hyaluronidase activity in the regulation of water balance is discussed.
