Arginine Vasopressin Enhances Cell Survival via a G Protein–Coupled Receptor Kinase 2/β-Arrestin1/Extracellular-Regulated Kinase 1/2–Dependent Pathway in H9c2 Cells [PDF]
Circulating levels of arginine vasopressin (AVP) are elevated during hypovolemia and during cardiac stress. AVP activates arginine vasopressin type 1A (V(1A))/Gα(q)-coupled receptors in the heart and vasculature and V(2)/Gα(s)-coupled receptors in the kidney.

We report a male infant with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) who presented with hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia since birth. Serum sodium started to increase at 39 days. Although there was no polyuria, urine osmolality was 71 mOsm/kg,

V2 vasopressin receptor mutations: future personalized therapy based on individual molecular biology
The diluting and concentrating function of the kidney plays a crucial role in regulating the water homeostasis of the body. This function is regulated by the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin through the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R ...

Identification and functional characterization of arginine vasopressin receptor 1A : atypical chemokine receptor 3 heteromers in vascular smooth muscle [PDF]
Recent observations suggest that atypical chemokine receptor (ACKR)3 and chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor (CXCR)4 regulate human vascular smooth muscle function through hetero-oligomerization with α1-adrenoceptors. Here, we show that ACKR3 also regulates

Neonatal AVPR1a Methylation and In-Utero Exposure to Maternal Smoking
(1) Introduction: Epigenetic changes have been proposed as a biologic link between in-utero exposure to maternal smoking and health outcomes. Therefore, we examined if in-utero exposure to maternal smoking was associated with infant DNA methylation (DNAm)

Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI), a rare hereditary disorder, is characterized by the inability of the kidneys to concentrate urine in response to the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP); as a result, large volumes of ...

We have identified a novel mutation of the arginine vasopressin receptor 2 (AVPR2) gene in a case of congenital X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). The patient was a 2-mo-old Japanese boy with persistent fever and failure to thrive. He was diagnosed as having congenital NDI by clinical and laboratory findings. Molecular analysis demonstrated

The urine concentrating function of the kidney is essential to maintain the water homeostasis of the human body. It is mainly regulated by the arginine-vasopressin (AVP), which targets the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) in the kidney. The inability of

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether arginine vasopressin releases endothelium-derived nitric oxide (EDNO) from the epicardial coronary artery. METHODS: We studied segments of canine left circumflex coronary arteries suspended in organ chambers to measure ...
