Serum Sodium Concentration During Arginine Vasopressin Infusion in Critically Ill Children [PDF]
Background: Intravenous arginine vasopressin is increasingly used for the treatment of critically ill children. It bears the risk of hyponatraemia with potential severe long-term sequelae, but data on hyponatraemia as a side effect of continuous ...

Arginine vasopressin deficiency (central diabetes insipidus) with partial empty sella: a case report [PDF]
Background 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

Synthetic Vasopressin and Oxytocin Analogs and Their Potential Use in Hemorrhagic, Traumatic and Septic Shock: A Personal Perspective [PDF]
As one of us has stated many years ago, “shock is a significant and sustained loss of effective circulating blood volume. It will eventuate in hypoperfusion of critical peripheral tissues, thus leading to a deficit in transcapillary exchange function in ...

Oxytocin at physiological concentrations evokes adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release from corticotrophs by increasing intracellular free calcium mobilized mainly from intracellular stores. Oxytocin displays synergistic or additive effects on ACTH-releasing factor or arginine vasopressin-induced ACTH secretion, respectively [PDF]
The potency of oxytocin (OT) in evoking ACTH secretion by isolated, superfused rat adenohypophyseal corticotrophs and its enhancement by CRF and arginine vasopressin (AVP) were analyzed.

Effects of arginine vasopressin on migration and respiratory burst activity in human leukocytes
Arginine vasopressin can bind to high-affinity vasopressin V1a receptors in human leukocytes. This study aims to investigate the effects of arginine vasopressin on migration and chemotaxis of neutrophils and oxygen free radical release by human ...
