New Topics in Vasopressin Receptors and Approach to Novel Drugs: Vasopressin and Pain Perception
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2009 Arginine vasopressin (AVP) activates three vasopressin receptors and it also has an agonistic activity on the oxytocin receptor. For an accurate description of the target receptor subtype(s) responsible for complex AVP and oxytocin actions, a careful ...

Vasopressin receptors in health and disease [PDF]
Kidney International, 1996 The molecular cloning and characterization of receptors for the nonapeptide hormone family vasopressin-oxytocin was rapidly followed by the identification of mutations in the V2 receptor gene segregating with the clinical phenotype in more than a hundred families with X-linked nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

Vasopressin receptor-mediated endocytosis in cells transfected with V1-type vasopressin receptors [PDF]
Kidney International, 1993 We examined the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis in A-9 lung fibroblast and chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with the recently cloned vasopressin V1a receptor (51). We used a fluorescent labeled vasopressin analog (rhodamine-mercaptopropionic acid lysine vasopressin) and radiolabeled vasopressin to examine this process in the two ...

Phosphorylation of the V2 Vasopressin Receptor [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997 The V2 vasopressin receptor undergoes ligand-induced sequestration and desensitization (Birnbaumer, M., Antaramian, A., Themmen, A. P. N., and Gilbert, S. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 11783-11788). The V2 receptor expressed in transfected cells labeled with [32P] orthophosphate was phosphorylated following the addition of 100 nM arginine vasopressin (AVP)

A highly sensitive and rapid radioimmunoassay for the determination of arginine8-vasopressin [PDF]
, 1992 A highly sensitive radioimmunossay for arginine8-vasopressin (argipressin; INN) measurement was developed using Amberlite XAD 2 resin columns to extract arginine8-vasopressin from acidified human plasma.

Vasopressin and Vasopressin Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
Electrolyte & Blood Pressure, 2008 Vasopressin, a neurohypophyseal peptide hormone, is the endogenous agonist at V1a, V1b, and V2 receptors. The most important physiological function of vasopressin is the maintenance of water homeostasis through interaction with V2 receptors in the kidney.

Protocol for a randomised controlled trial of VAsopressin versus Noradrenaline as Initial therapy in Septic sHock (VANISH). [PDF]
, 2014 INTRODUCTION: Vasopressin is an alternative vasopressor in the management of septic shock. It spares catecholamine use but whether it improves outcome remains uncertain.

Vasopressin Prolongs Behavioral and Cardiac Responses to Mild Stress in Young But Not in Aged Rats [PDF]
, 1992 In young male Wistar rats sudden silence superimposed on low intensity background noise evokes a relative decrease in heart rate. This bradycardia is accompanied by immobility behavior.

Plasma arginine vasopressin concentrations in epileptics under monotherapy [PDF]
, 1983 Plasma arginine vasopressin concentrations were determined by radio-immunoassay in 112 adult epileptics who were taking carbamazepine, phenytoin, primidone, or sodium valproate in long-term monotherapy, and in 19 controls.
