Vasopressin mediates fructose-induced metabolic syndrome by activating the V1b receptor
JCI Insight, 2021 Subjects with obesity frequently have elevated serum vasopressin levels, noted by measuring the stable analog, copeptin. Vasopressin acts primarily to reabsorb water via urinary concentration. However, fat is also a source of metabolic water, raising the
