Assay for the measurement of copeptin, a stable peptide derived from the precursor of vasopressin.

Clinical Chemistry, 2006
BACKGROUND Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a key regulator of water balance, but its instability makes reliable measurement difficult and precludes routine use.

Sugar‐sensing swodkoreceptors and swodkocrine signaling

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Sugar‐sensing swodkoreceptors that trigger swodkocrine signaling. Abstract Sugars are one of the major metabolites and are essential for nucleic acid synthesis and energy production. In addition, sugars can act as signaling molecules. To study sugar signaling at the systemic level, there is an urgent need to systematically identify sugar‐sensing ...

Engineering of Transmembrane Alkane Monooxygenases to Improve a Key Reaction Step in the Synthesis of Polymer Precursor Tulipalin A

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
The α‐methylene‐γ‐butyrolactone tulipalin A, a defense compound found in tulips, can polymerize via addition at the vinyl group or via ring‐opening polymerization, making it a highly promising monomer for bio‐based polymers. Since the biosynthesis of tulipalin A in plants remains elusive, we propose an alternative pathway for its synthesis starting ...

Toward molecular neuroeconomics of obesity [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
Because obesity is a risk factor for many serious illnesses such as diabetes, better understandings of obesity and eating disorders have been attracting attention in neurobiology, psychiatry, and neuroeconomics. This paper presents future study directions by unifying (i) economic theory of addiction and obesity (Becker and Murphy, 1988; Levy 2002 ...

Vasopressin increases water permeability of kidney collecting duct by inducing translocation of aquaporin-CD water channels to plasma membrane.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1995
Water excretion by the kidney is regulated by the peptide hormone vasopressin. Vasopressin increases the water permeability of the renal collecting duct cells, allowing more water to be reabsorbed from collecting duct urine to blood.

Vasopressin and diabetic nephropathy [PDF]

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2017
The prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is increasing worldwide. Despite major therapeutic advances in the last decades in DKD, the current standard of care let many people progress to severe stages. Vasopressin secretion is increased in diabetes, and its potential role in the onset and progression of DKD is being re-investigated.Recently ...

Deciphering the skeletal interoceptive circuitry to control bone homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review introduces the skeletal interoceptive circuitry, covering the ascending signals from bone tissues to the brain (sensors), the central neural circuits that integrate this information and dispatch commands (CPU), and the descending pathways that regulate bone homeostasis (effectors).

Comparison between copeptin and vasopressin in a population from the community and in people with chronic kidney disease.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2014
CONTEXT Vasopressin plays a central role in water homeostasis but it has also been recognized to be associated with adverse effects in several chronic diseases.

Linkers in Action: Exploring Fusion Enzymes for Oxyfunctionlizations in Non‐Conventional Media Through Experiments and Simulations

ChemCatChem, EarlyView.
The study constructs and simulates novel fusion enzymes of cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) with diverse peptide linkers to enhance linear oxyfunctionalization cascades with in situ cofactor regeneration in aqueous–organic biphasic systems.

The protective effects of vasopressin on experimental testicular torsion-detorsion in male rats [PDF]

Journal of Nephropharmacology, 2019
Introduction: Vasopressin is a potent vasoconstrictor. Vasopressin can reduce damages caused by ischemia-reperfusion. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reducing effect of vasopressin on the damage caused by testicular torsion ...
