Copeptin as a marker of atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis [PDF]
The precursor peptide of vasopressin, copeptin, has previously been linked to increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease and cardiovascular mortality. Whether elevated copeptin is associated with markers of atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis in the general population is not known.In this population-based, cross-sectional ...

Copeptin analysis in endocrine disorders
Copeptin is cleaved from the same precursor as arginine vasopressin and is released in equimolar amounts with arginine vasopressin from the posterior pituitary in response to the same stimuli. Its level of stability in the blood, quick and simple analysis, and ease of automation make it much easier to analyze than arginine vasopressin, thereby offering

Low copeptin levels may indicate inadequate arginine-vasopressin release promoting arterial hypotension, whereas high copeptin concentrations may reflect disease severity.

High copeptin concentrations in umbilical cord blood after vaginal delivery and birth acidosis [PDF]
CONTEXT: The pituitary-secreted nonapeptide arginine-vasopressin (AVP) is unstable and therefore unsuited for diagnostic use, but its secretion can be estimated by measuring copeptin, the C-terminal portion of the AVP precursor (pro-AVP).

The role of copeptin in kidney disease
Copeptin is a 39-amino acid glycopeptide that is secreted equimolecularly with arginine-vasopressin (AVP) from the prepro-hormone AVP in the posterior pituitary. While AVP is a very unstable molecule and is accompanied by significant technical troubles in its quantification, copeptin is a stable and easily quantifiable molecule.

Sex differences in the effects of MDMA (ecstasy) on plasma copeptin in healthy subjects [PDF]
BACKGROUND:3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, ecstasy) misuse is associated with hyponatremia particularly in women. Hyponatremia is possibly due to inappropriate secretion of plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP).

Serum Copeptin Levels in Adult Patients with a Migraine Attack: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Aim:This study investigated the potential role of serum copeptin, a mediator of acute pain via sympathetic stress stimulation, as a biomarker of varying degrees of migraine-related disability.

Copeptin Levels In Clinical Silent Multiple Sclerosis- Klinik Sessiz Multiple Sklerozda Copeptin Düzeyleri [PDF]
Objective: Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction is thought to appear in patients with multiplesclerosis(MS). Copeptin is a serum protein that is indicated as an indirect marker of HPA axis.

Copeptin Implementation on Stroke Prognosis
Predicting functional outcome following stroke is considered to be of key importance in an attempt to optimize overall stroke care. Although clinical prognostic tools have been widely implemented, optimal blood biomarkers might be able to yield additional information regarding each stroke survivor’s propensity for recovery.
