The role of copeptin as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for risk stratification in the emergency department [PDF]
BMC Medicine, 2012 The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is activated in response to stress. One of the activated hypothalamic hormones is arginine vasopressin, a hormone involved in hemodynamics and osmoregulation.

Arginine vasopressin and copeptin in perinatology [PDF]
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2016 Arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays a major role in the homeostasis of fluid balance, vascular tonus and the regulation of the endocrine stress response. The measurement of AVP levels is difficult due to its short half-life and laborious method of detection.

The Role of Arginine Vasopressin in Alcohol Tolerance [PDF]
Annals of Medicine, 1990 Administration of the neuropeptide, arginine vasopressin, to animals that have acquired functional tolerance to ethanol will maintain such tolerance, even in the absence of further ethanol ingestion by the animals. In mice, this action of the peptide is mediated by central nervous system V1 receptors and requires intact brain noradrenergic systems ...

Arginine vasopressin deficiency (central diabetes insipidus) with partial empty sella: a case report [PDF]
BMC Endocrine DisordersBackground Arginine vasopressin deficiency (central diabetes insipidus) is defined as a reduction in the release of arginine vasopressin (AVP) resulting in a variable degree of polyuria. Partial empty sella refers to an enlarged sella turcica that is not

Copeptin analysis in endocrine disorders
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 Copeptin is cleaved from the same precursor as arginine vasopressin and is released in equimolar amounts with arginine vasopressin from the posterior pituitary in response to the same stimuli.

Vasopressinergic modulation of stress responses in the central amygdala of the Roman high-avoidance and low-avoidance rat [PDF]
, 1992 The central nucleus of the amygdala (CEA) is selectively involved in the passive component of the behavioral (immobility) and the accompanying parasympathetic response during conditioned, stressful environmental challenges. Vasopressinergic mechanisms in
