Oxytocin and Vasopressin: Powerful Regulators of Social Behavior

The Neuroscientist, 2017
For many, the terms oxytocin and vasopressin immediately evoke images of animals interacting with one another, as both of these neuropeptides have been implicated as being part of the neurochemical “glue” that socially binds animals.

Biosynthesis of Vasopressin

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1986
The nonapeptide vasopressin is synthetized as part of a longer common precursor polypeptide, together with its carrier protein neurophysin and a glycopeptide of unknown function. The gene for this common precursor has been isolated and sequenced and shown to comprise three exons encoding, respectively, the protein domains approximately corresponding to

Vasopressin and Vasopressin Antagonists in Heart Failure

2017
Despite the introduction of multiple new pharmacological agents over the past three decades in the field of heart failure (HF), overall prognosis remains poor. Hyponatremia is prevalent in HF patients and has been suggested as a contributor to poor response to standard therapy.

The Septic Shock 3.0 Definition and Trials: A Vasopressin and Septic Shock Trial Experience*

Critical Care Medicine, 2017
Objectives: The Septic Shock 3.0 definition could alter treatment comparisons in randomized controlled trials in septic shock. Our first hypothesis was that the vasopressin versus norepinephrine comparison and 28-day mortality of patients with Septic ...

Vasopressin Receptors

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2000
The biological effects of arginine vasopressin (AVP) are mediated by three receptor subtypes: the V1a and V1b receptors that activate phospholipases via Gq/11, and the V2 receptor that activates adenylyl cyclase by interacting with Gs. Isolation of the cDNAs encoding the V1a and V1b receptor subtypes explained the tissue variability of V1 antagonist ...

Vasopressin antagonists

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2006
Effects of vasopressin via V1a- and V2-receptors are closely implicated in a variety of water-retaining diseases and cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, hyponatraemia, hypertension, renal diseases, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, cirrhosis and ocular hypertension.

Vasopressin in the ICU

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2004
Vasopressin is one of the most important endogenously released stress hormones during shock. In this review, studies published in the past year that add to our understanding of the use of vasopressin in the ICU are discussed.Endogenous vasopressin levels are inappropriately low in adults with severe sepsis but not in children with meningococcal septic ...

Mice Genetically Deficient in Vasopressin V1a and V1b Receptors Are Resistant to Jet Lag

Science, 2013
Resetting the Circadian Clock Fatigue and other symptoms of jet lag arise when the body's internal circadian clock is out of sync with environmental light-dark cycles.

Vasopressin and vasopressin antagonists in heart failure and hyponatremia

Current Heart Failure Reports, 2008
Increased synthesis of arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays a critical role in fluid retention and hyponatremia in patients with heart failure. The AVP receptor antagonists constitute a new class of agents that are promising in the management of hyponatremia and congestion.

Vasopressin

2016
Vasopressins (VPs) are mammalian VP family nonapeptides. VPs are composed of an intramolecular ring structure flanked by two cysteine residues and a C-terminal extension with a basic amino acid residue at position 8. VP causes antidiuresis, blood pressure elevation, stress response, metabolic actions, and various behaviors through three VP receptors. A
