Carbamylation of Oxytocin and Arginine-Vasopressin

Nature, 1963
SYNTHETIC analogues of oxytocin and vasopressin in which the terminal amino group is absent or modified exhibit remarkable differences in biological activity. Whereas desamino-oxytocin is highly active1,2, analogues of oxytocin in which the amino group is substituted by acylation or alkylation retain little pharmacological activity3–5, and some act as ...

Hypersecretion of Arginine Vasopressin in Acromegaly

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1971
ABSTRACT Four of 5 patients with untreated active acromegaly demonstrated prolonged antidiuresis and sustained release of arginine vasopressin (AVP) with nicotine stimulation of the neurohypophysis. This hyperresponsiveness was acutely suppressed by adrenal steroids in 2 subjects.

Central arginine vasopressin and endogenous antipyresis

Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, 1992
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a centrally synthesized nonapeptide that exerts classical endocrine effects as well as a host of centrally mediated actions. A strong case can be argued in support of a neurotransmitter–neuromodulator role for AVP. Acting within the central nervous system (CNS), AVP has been demonstrated to be involved in the modulation ...

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

Intraventricular arginine vasopressin maintains ethanol tolerance

European Journal of Pharmacology, 1984
Tolerance to the hypnotic effect of ethanol in mice is prolonged by once daily intraventricular injections of arginine vasopressin. This action is similar to that reported previously when vasopressin was administered subcutaneously. The results indicate that maintenance of ethanol tolerance by vasopressin is a centrally mediated action of the peptide ...

Arginine Vasopressin in Human Follicular Fluid*

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1986
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) was determined in plasma and follicular fluid in 28 women in an in vitro fertilization program. In 23 women, follicular fluid was collected by laparoscopy during general anesthesia, and in 5 women, it was collected transvaginally with no such anesthesia.

Arginine vasopressin in manic-depressive psychosis

Psychological Medicine, 1987
SynopsisUrinary excretions of arginine vasopressin (AVP), sodium, potassium, osmoles and creatinine were measured in three in-patients with bipolar manic-depressive psychosis on at least eight 24-hour periods in each affective phase. Mood and body weight were recorded twice daily.

Arginine vasopressin, fever and temperature regulation

1999
While central administration of arginine vasopressin (VP) to the non-febrile rat at high doses can cause hypothermia, there is little evidence for a role for endogenous VP in normal thermoregulation. In contrast, VP arising from cell bodies in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and innervating the ventral septal areas and possibly the amygdala ...
