THE EFFECTS OF TWO ANALOGUES OF ARGININE‐VASOPRESSIN (ORNITHINE‐VASOPRESSIN AND DESAMINO‐D‐ARGININE‐VASOPRESSIN) ON KIDNEY FUNCTION IN SHEEP [PDF]
The effects of intravenous infusion of ornithine‐vasopressin (OVP) and desamino‐D‐arginine‐vasopressin (dDAVP) were studied in normal and hydrated Merino sheep. In normal sheep, OVP resulted in a diuresis, increased urinary sodium and potassium excretion, and a fall in the plasma potassium concentration.

Reciprocal interactions between tumor and endothelial cells: Effects of selective vasopressin V2 receptor peptide agonists [PDF]
Recent experimental evidence suggested that the synthetic peptide desmopressin (DDAVP) interferes tumor angiogenesis by inducing the formation of angiostatin.

Preclinical efficacy of [V 4 Q 5 ]dDAVP, a second generation vasopressin analog, on metastatic spread and tumor-associated angiogenesis in colorectal cancer [PDF]
Purpose Control of metastatic spread of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains as a major therapeutic challenge. [V 4 Q 5 ]dDAVP is a vasopressin peptide analog with previously reported anticancer activity against carcinoma tumors.

Hyponatremia, Arginine Vasopressin Dysregulation, and Vasopressin Receptor Antagonism [PDF]
Hyponatremia is often associated with arginine vasopressin (AVP) dysregulation that is regulated by the hypothalamo-neurohypophyseal tract in response to changes in plasma osmolality, commonly in patients with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).

Mathematical Modelling of Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Dynamics: A Review, a Novel Approach, and Future [PDF]
A novel mathematical model for the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis is proposed to comprehend the oscillations observed in hormone concentration and potential dysfunction within the HPA axis in stressful situation. This model integrates impact of hippocampal receptors on the secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), an additional ...

Glucocorticoids rapidly inhibit oxytocin-stimulated adrenocorticotropin release from rat anterior pituitary cells, without modifying intracellular calcium transients [PDF]
Glucocorticoid hormones suppress the secretion of ACTH evoked by secretagogues such as CRF and arginine vasopressin. In this study, we investigated the effects of glucocorticoids on ACTH release induced by oxytocin (OT) and on intracellular free calcium ...

Arginine-rich peptides destabilize the plasma membrane, consistent with a pore formation translocation mechanism of cell penetrating peptides [PDF]
Recent molecular dynamics simulations (Herce and Garcia, PNAS, 104: 20805 (2007)) have suggested that the arginine-rich HIV Tat peptides might be able to translocate by destabilizing and inducing transient pores in phospholipid bilayers. In this pathway for peptide translocation, arginine residues play a fundamental role not only in the binding of the ...

Skeletal muscle: a significant novel neurohypophyseal hormone-secreting organ [PDF]
Vasopressin (arg8-vasopressin) and oxytocin are closely relalated hormones, synthesized as pre-hormones in the magnocellular neurons of the paraventricular Q6 and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus.
