THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RADIOIMMUNOASSAY FOR ARGININE VASOPRESSIN

Acta Endocrinologica, 1976
ABSTRACT The development of a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay for vasopressin is described. Antibodies were successfully produced following the coupling of synthetic arginine vasopressin with bovine serum albumin carried out with carbodiimide.

Arginine vasopressin in Cushing's disease

The Lancet, 1990
Bilateral simultaneous blood samples were taken from the inferior petrosal sinuses of nine patients with Cushing's disease for measurement of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), vasopressin (AVP), prolactin, growth hormone, luteinising hormone (LH), and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH).

Arginine Vasopressin and Osmolality in the Elderly

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1994
Objectives: To evaluate the influence of age on plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentrations and the relationship between plasma AVP and serum osmolality in younger and older subjects, and in the elderly, to assess the effect of gender on plasma AVP concentration and to determine the impact of prostaglandin ...

Blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier to arginine-vasopressin, desmopressin and desglycinamide arginine-vasopressin in the dog

Journal of Endocrinology, 1982
The passage of 125I-labelled arginine-vasopressin (AVP) and its analogues desmopressin (DDAVP) and desglycinamide arginine-vasopressin (DGAVP) into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been studied in the dog. After intravenous injection or infusion of these peptides radioactive sustances were found in the CSF in amounts ranging from 0·5 to 1·4% of the total ...

Arginine vasopressin response to hypertonicity in hypertension studied by arginine vasopressin assay in unextracted plasma

Journal of Hypertension, 1992
To investigate whether plasma osmolality (Posm)-plasma arginine vasopressin (PAVP) response relationships with particular characteristics of sensitivity, gain or response pattern (linear/non-linear) occur more frequently in hypertensive than normotensive subjects.Analysis of Posm-PAVP curves observed in individual normotensive and hypertensive subjects

Effect of TRH on Plasma Arginine Vasopressin

Hormone Research, 2008
Effect of thyrotropic releasing hormone (TRH) on plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) was studied in human subjects. All 7 normal controls and 2 hypothyrotropic hypothyroid subjects failed to show any rise of AVP on TRH administration. The 4 primary hypothyroid subjects had elevated basal AVP level and showed further elevation on TRH administration.

Arginine Vasopressin as a Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone

Science, 1987
Although hypothyroidism (with concomitant increased levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone) has been associated with elevated plasma vasopressin, the role that vasopressin plays in controlling thyroid-stimulating hormone secretion from the adenohypophysis is not understood.

Functional activity of vasopressin analog desglycinamide-arginine-vasopressin

Biology Bulletin, 2006
Original and published data on the functional activity of neurohypophyseal hormone vasopressin and its analog DGAVP were analyzed with a particular focus on the pattern of the peptide effect on the hemostatic system. The effects of the natural hormone and its synthetic analog on some indices of coagulation and fibrinolysis were compared. The effects of

Radioimmunoassay of Arginine Vasopressin in Human Plasma

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1973
ABSTRACT A highly sensitive specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) method for the measurement of arginine vasopressin (AVP) is described. The sensitivity of the assay is 0.1 pg/ml. A simple extraction technique from plasma is described with a consistent recovery of about 65–70%, and without alteration in the immunoreactivity of the extracted hormone.

Arginine vasopressin disposition in the conscious rabbit

Peptides, 1996
To characterize the urinary kinetics of AVP, and the influence of regional blood flow on the metabolic degradation of AVP, multiple doses of AVP were administered to conscious rabbits. AVP systemic clearance (ClT) was not influenced by changes in dose, in spite of a decrease in AVP urinary clearance following the highest dose.
