Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI): clinical, laboratory and genetic characterization of five Brazilian patients

open access: yesClinics, 2009
INTRODUCTION: Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is characterized by a lack of response in the distal nephron to the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin.

Patient Participation in Urine Specific Gravity Screening for Arginine Vasopressin Deficiency in an Inpatient Neurosurgical Clinic

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Detecting hypotonic urine (specific gravity < 1005 g/L) is crucial for the early identification of arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP‐deficiency), a common complication after pituitary surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between urine specific gravity measurements taken by patients using urine test strips and those ...

Morphofunctional Alterations of the Hypothalamus and Social Behavior in Autism Spectrum Disorders

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
An accumulating body of evidence indicates a tight relationship between the endocrine system and abnormal social behavior. Two evolutionarily conserved hypothalamic peptides, oxytocin and arginine-vasopressin, because of their extensively documented ...

Oxytocin and arginine vasopressin systems in the domestication process [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2018
Domestication is of unquestionable importance to the technological revolution that has given rise to modern human societies. In this study, we analyzed the DNA and protein sequences of six genes of the oxytocin and arginine vasopressin systems (OXT-OXTR; AVP-AVPR1a, AVPR1b and AVPR2) in 40 placental mammals.

Vasopressin and septic shock

open access: yesJournal of Pharmaceutical Care, 2015
Septic shock continues to be one of the leading causes of death in the Intensive Care Units. When the shock state persists after adequate fluid resuscitation,  vasopressor therapy is required to improve and maintain adequate tissue/organ  perfusion in an

Altered offspring neurodevelopment in an arginine vasopressin preeclampsia model

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2021
Preeclampsia is a severe gestational hypertensive condition linked to child neuropsychiatric disorders, although underlying mechanisms are unclear. We used a recently developed, clinically relevant animal model of preeclampsia to assess offspring.

A lipidated peptide derived from the C-terminal tail of the vasopressin 2 receptor shows promise as a new $β$-arrestin inhibitor [PDF]

open access: yesPharmacological Research, 2025, 107597
$\beta$-arrestins play pivotal roles in seven transmembrane receptor (7TMR) signalling and trafficking. To study their functional role in the regulation of specific receptor systems, current research relies mainly on genetic tools, as few pharmacological options are available.

Congestive heart failure in rats is associated with increased expression and targeting of aquaporin-2 water channel in collecting duct [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
We tested whether severe congestive heart failure (CHF), a condition associated with excess free-water retention, is accompanied by altered regulation of the vasopressin-regulated water channel, aquaporin-2 (AQP2), in the renal collecting duct.

Association of Polymorphism of Arginine-Vasopressin Receptor 1A (AVPR1a) Gene With Trust and Reciprocity

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
Oxytocin (OXT) is known to play an important role in trust, whereas the involvement of other peptide hormones has not been evaluated. In this study, we focused on microsatellite polymorphisms in the intron of the arginine-vasopressin receptor 1a (AVPR1a)
