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
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]
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.

Altered offspring neurodevelopment in an arginine vasopressin preeclampsia model
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]
$\beta$-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]
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.

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)
