The osmoregulation of vasopressin
The concept that secretion of the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasopressin, is regulated by the osmolality of body water originated with the pioneering studies of Verney over 25 years ago [1]. In a classical series of experiments, this investigator showed that the injection of hypertonic saline into the carotid artery of conscious, hydrated dogs ...

Effects of arginine vasopressin on migration and respiratory burst activity in human leukocytes
Arginine vasopressin can bind to high-affinity vasopressin V1a receptors in human leukocytes. This study aims to investigate the effects of arginine vasopressin on migration and chemotaxis of neutrophils and oxygen free radical release by human ...

Importance Vasopressin is an alternative to catecholamine vasopressors for patients with distributive shock—a condition due to excessive vasodilation, most frequently from severe infection.

The Effect of Renal Function and Hemodialysis Treatment on Plasma Vasopressin and Copeptin Levels
Copeptin is increasingly used in epidemiological studies as a substitute for vasopressin. The effect of renal function per se on copeptin and vasopressin concentrations as well as their ratio have, however, not been well described.

Background/Aims: Vasopressin is a powerful stimulator of vascular calcification, augmenting osteogenic signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) including up-regulation of the transcription factors core-binding factor α-1 (CBFA1), msh homeobox 2 (

SERS discrimination of single amino acid residue in single peptide by plasmonic nanocavities [PDF]
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a sensitive label-free optical method that can provide fingerprint Raman spectra of biomolecules such as DNA, amino acids and proteins. While SERS of single DNA molecule has been recently demonstrated, Raman analysis of single protein sequence was not possible because the SERS spectra of proteins are ...

Mechanisms involved in dual vasopressin/apelin neuron dysfunction during aging. [PDF]
Normal aging is associated with vasopressin neuron adaptation, but little is known about its effects on the release of apelin, an aquaretic peptide colocalized with vasopressin.

Vasopressin versus norepinephrine infusion in patients with septic shock.
BACKGROUND Vasopressin is commonly used as an adjunct to catecholamines to support blood pressure in refractory septic shock, but its effect on mortality is unknown. We hypothesized that low-dose vasopressin as compared with norepinephrine would decrease

Purpose It is not clear whether vasopressin versus norepinephrine changed mortality in clinical practice in the Vasopressin and Septic Shock Trial (VASST) coordinating center hospital after VASST was published.
