Binding Sites for Vasopressin in the Human Pituitary are Associated with Corticotrophs and may Differ from Other Known Vasopressin Receptors.

Journal of neuroendocrinology

Pasquier D, Loup F, Dubois-Dauphin M, Dreifuss JJ, Tribollet E.
PMID: 19215459
J Neuroendocrinol. 1991 Jun 01;3(3):237-47. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2826.1991.tb00270.x.

Abstract In view of the fact that Vasopressin can induce pituitary adrenocorticotrophin release, we performed an autoradiographical study of [(3)H]arginine vasopressin binding in human pituitary tissue obtained post-mortem from adults and foetuses. Sites of specific, high affinity binding (IC(50)...

Vasopressinergic innervation of the bovine pineal gland: is there a local source for arginine vasopressin?.

Molecular and cellular neurosciences

Olcese J, Sinemus C, Ivell R.
PMID: 19912907
Mol Cell Neurosci. 1993 Feb;4(1):47-54. doi: 10.1006/mcne.1993.1006.

Although the presence of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the mammalian pineal has been characterized biochemically, the source of this nonapeptide hormone remains enigmatic. Most earlier data pointed to an extrapineal origin, although some recent evidence suggests intrapineal synthesis of...

Tolvaptan: the evidence for its therapeutic value in acute heart failure syndrome.

Core evidence

Aghel A, Tang WH.
PMID: 20694082
Core Evid. 2008 Jun;3(1):31-43. doi: 10.3355/ce.2008.010.

INTRODUCTION: Acute heart failure syndrome (AHFS) is one of the leading causes of hospital admission in the US. Tolvaptan is a vasopressin V(2) receptor antagonist that blocks the effect of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in reabsorbing water from the collecting...

Basic FGF partially prevents degeneration of paraventricular vasopressin neurons after hypophysectomy.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience

Takeichi Y, Nakasu Y, Tooyama I, Kimura H.
PMID: 21551516
Restor Neurol Neurosci. 1996 Jan 01;10(3):161-6. doi: 10.3233/RNN-1996-10304.

This experiment was designed to determine if basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) had neurotrophic effects on vasopressin neurons after hypophysectomy. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats received 1 μg bFGF (bFGF group) or 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA group) to the...

Anatomical Localization of Corticotropin-Releasing Factor and Arginine Vasopressin in the Human Hypothalamus; the Effect of Corticosteroids on their Concentrations in Human and Rat Hypothalami.

Journal of neuroendocrinology

Pralong FP, Linton EA, Favrod-Coune CA, Lowry PJ, Muller AF, Gaillard RC.
PMID: 19215362
J Neuroendocrinol. 1990 Jun 01;2(3):369-74. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2826.1990.tb00420.x.

Abstract In this study, we have determined the distribution of corticotropin-releasing factor and vasopressin in the human hypothalamus, and investigated the effect of glucocorticoid administration on the concentrations of both peptides. Corticotropin-releasing factor and vasopressin were measured by a...

A treatment protocol including vasopressin and hydroxyethyl starch solution is associated with increased rate of return of spontaneous circulation in blunt trauma patients with pulseless electrical activity.

International journal of emergency medicine

Grmec S, Strnad M, Cander D, Mally S.

Int J Emerg Med. 2008 Dec;1(4):311-6. doi: 10.1007/s12245-008-0073-8. Epub 2008 Nov 12.

BACKGROUND: Survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) using standard vasopressor therapy is disappointing. Vasopressin is a potent vasopressor that could become a useful therapeutic alternative in the treatment of cardiac arrest.AIMS: The aim of this prehospital prospective cohort study was...

Real-time Imaging of Ca-handling in Intact Renal Glomeruli Using Confocal Microscopy.

Medical hypotheses and research : MHR

Ghayur MN, Janssen LJ.
PMID: 22287941
Med Hypotheses Res. 2009 Jul;5(1):47-56.

Glomeruli are filtering units in the kidneys. Being multicellular and complex in structure, many aspects of glomerular function are yet to be elucidated. Most studies use glomerular cells in culture, which may exhibit altered physiology compared to native cells....

Analysis of a novel AVPR2 mutation in a family with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.

International journal of clinical and experimental medicine

Moon SD, Kim JH, Shim JY, Lim DJ, Cha BY, Han JH.
PMID: 21394280
Int J Clin Exp Med. 2011;4(1):1-9. Epub 2010 Nov 30.

Congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder associated with germ-line mutations of the arginine vasopressin (AVP) receptor type 2 (AVPR2) gene. Recent molecular studies have demonstrated that insensitivity of renal tubule cells to AVP is...
