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.

Sex Differences in the Regulation of Offensive Aggression and Dominance by Arginine-Vasopressin
Arginine-vasopressin (AVP) plays a critical role in the regulation of offensive aggression and social status in mammals. AVP is found in an extensive neural network in the brain.

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 ...

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 ...

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).

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.

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 ...

Arginine, due to the guanidine moiety, increases peptides’ hydrophilicity and enables interactions with charged molecules, but at the same time, its presence in a peptide chain might reduce its permeability through biological membranes.

Comparison of first-line and second-line terlipressin versus sole norepinephrine in fulminant ovine septic shock [PDF]
The Surviving Sepsis Guidelines suggest the use of vasopressin in case of catecholamine-refractory septic shock. Terlipressin (TP) as a V-1-selective AVP analogue is a potential alternative, though data regarding the first-line administration in septic ...
