Antidiuretic hormone liberated the vertebrates from their aqueous environment, and permitted them to establish themselves on dry land. The combination of sensitive volume and osmoreceptors, a pituitary secretory apparatus which can vary its output from virtually zero to high levels in a short space of time, and receptor cells functioning in the ...

Molecular evolution of the neurohypophysial hormones: The active peptides of a primitive bony fish Polypterus bichir [PDF]
Neurohypophysial hormones have been so far identified in Neopterygii and Crossopterygii but not in species of the bird sub-class of bony fishes, the Palaeopterygii. Isolation and chemical characterization of the active principles of a primitive bony fish,

Vasopressin and Vasopressin Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
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.

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 ...

Control of Renal Tubular Sodium and Water Absorption - An Animated Model
The kidney is among the most complex of internal organs. This is due in large part to the multiple and integrated mechanisms of the kidney and their highly dynamic regulation by a variety of neurohormonal and hemodynamic inputs.
