Comparative evaluation of copeptin and NT-proBNP in patients with severe acute decompensated heart failure, and prediction of adverse events in a 90-day follow-up period: A prospective clinical observation trial.

Experimental and therapeutic medicine

Jia J, Chang GL, Qin S, Chen J, He WY, Lu K, Li Y, Zhang DY.
PMID: 28413508
Exp Ther Med. 2017 Apr;13(4):1554-1560. doi: 10.3892/etm.2017.4111. Epub 2017 Feb 08.

The present study compared the prognostic value of a marker, the C-terminal section of the arginine vasopressin prohormone (copeptin), with N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with severe acute decompensated heart failure. A prospective, observational cohort study was...

Impact of Adiposity and Fat Distribution on the Dynamics of Adrenocorticotropin and Cortisol Rhythms.

Current obesity reports

Roelfsema F, Pereira AM, Veldhuis JD.
PMID: 26626915
Curr Obes Rep. 2014 Dec;3(4):387-95. doi: 10.1007/s13679-014-0118-7.

Obesity impacts many hormonal systems, including pituitary hormones, as well as insulin and leptin. In this review we discuss articles which investigate the influence of obesity on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Different techniques have been used to assess the...

Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia: 2017 Update.

Frontiers in medicine

Hew-Butler T, Loi V, Pani A, Rosner MH.
PMID: 28316971
Front Med (Lausanne). 2017 Mar 03;4:21. doi: 10.3389/fmed.2017.00021. eCollection 2017.

Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) was initially described in the 1980s in endurance athletes, and work done since then has conclusively identified that overdrinking beyond thirst and non-osmotic arginine vasopressin release are the most common etiologic factors. In recent years, EAH...

Integrating resource defence theory with a neural nonapeptide pathway to explain territory-based mating systems.

Frontiers in zoology

Oldfield RG, Harris RM, Hofmann HA.
PMID: 26813803
Front Zool. 2015 Aug 24;12:S16. doi: 10.1186/1742-9994-12-S1-S16. eCollection 2015.

The ultimate-level factors that drive the evolution of mating systems have been well studied, but an evolutionarily conserved neural mechanism involved in shaping behaviour and social organization across species has remained elusive. Here, we review studies that have investigated...

Role of vasopressin in current anesthetic practice.

Korean journal of anesthesiology

Park KS, Yoo KY.
PMID: 28580075
Korean J Anesthesiol. 2017 Jun;70(3):245-257. doi: 10.4097/kjae.2017.70.3.245. Epub 2017 May 26.

Arginine vasopressin (AVP), also known as antidiuretic hormone, is a peptide endogenously secreted by the posterior pituitary in response to hyperosmolar plasma or systemic hypoperfusion states. When administered intravenously, it causes an intense peripheral vasoconstriction through stimulation of V

Dose-Dependent and Lasting Influences of Intranasal Vasopressin on Face Processing in Men.

Frontiers in endocrinology

Price D, Burris D, Cloutier A, Thompson CB, Rilling JK, Thompson RR.
PMID: 29018407
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 2017 Sep 22;8:220. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2017.00220. eCollection 2017.

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and related peptides have diverse effects on social behaviors in vertebrates, sometimes promoting affiliative interactions and sometimes aggressive or antisocial responses. The type of influence, in at least some species, depends on social contexts, including the...

Neurohypophyseal Neuregulin 1 Is Derived from the Hypothalamus as a Potential Prolactin Modulator.

Neuroendocrinology

Zhao WJ, Jiang Q, Mei JP.
PMID: 26043804
Neuroendocrinology. 2015;102(4):288-299. doi: 10.1159/000431377. Epub 2015 May 29.

Although neuregulin 1 (Nrg1) has been identified in the rat hypothalamus, the localisation of Nrg1 in the hypothalamus-hypophyseal structure and its functions remain unclear and require further elucidation. In this study, we identified the existence of Nrg1β types I-III...

Influence of music on steroid hormones and the relationship between receptor polymorphisms and musical ability: a pilot study.

Frontiers in psychology

Fukui H, Toyoshima K.
PMID: 24348454
Front Psychol. 2013 Dec 03;4:910. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00910. eCollection 2013.

Studies have shown that music confers plasticity to the brain. In a preliminary pilot study, we examined the effect of music listening on steroid hormones and the relationship between steroid hormone receptor polymorphisms and musical ability. Twenty-one subjects (10...

Role of the Vasopressin/Apelin Balance and Potential Use of Metabolically Stable Apelin Analogs in Water Metabolism Disorders.

Frontiers in endocrinology

Flahault A, Couvineau P, Alvear-Perez R, Iturrioz X, Llorens-Cortes C.
PMID: 28620355
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 2017 May 31;8:120. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2017.00120. eCollection 2017.

Apelin, a (neuro)vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling body fluid homeostasis and cardiovascular functions. In animal models, experimental data demonstrate that intracerebroventricular injection of apelin into lactating rats inhibits the phasic electrical activity of arginine vasopressin (AVP)...

High Water Intake and Progression of Chronic Kidney Diseases.

Electrolyte & blood pressure : E & BP

Choi HY, Park HC, Ha SK.
PMID: 26848303
Electrolyte Blood Press. 2015 Dec;13(2):46-51. doi: 10.5049/EBP.2015.13.2.46. Epub 2015 Dec 30.

Impact of water intake on the courses of chronic kidney and urinary tract diseases, such as urolithiasis, urinary tract infections, chronic kidney diseases (CKD), autosomal dominant polycystic kidney diseases and bladder cancer, has recently been studied. It still remains...

Diabetes insipidus: The other diabetes.
