Vasopressin (V) receptors have diverse physiological actions on liver, smooth muscle, myocardium, platelets, brain, and kidney. Although both V1a and V1b receptors stimulate the heterotrimeric G-protein subtype Gq resulting in activation of phospholipase C with increasing inositol phosphate production ...
Chapter 5 – Vasopressin in the Kidney—Historical AspectsIn the past century, scientific research has made great strides and has unraveled the pathophysiology for water homeostasis and its dysregulation in certain disease processes such as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and hyponatremia. In the mid...
Several aquaporin-type water channels are expressed in kidney: AQP1 in the proximal tubule, thin descending limb of Henle, and vasa recta; AQP2, AQP3, and ... AS Verkman - 《Journal of the American Society of Nephrology》 被引量: 243发表: 1999年 Pregnancy: an overfill or underfill stat...

The hypothalamic peptide hormone arginine vasopressin has a variety of different functions in the body. The hormone is certainly best known for its key role in the control of water balance and salt metabolism in the kidney, but arginine vasopressin is also involved in the regulation of ...
BACKGROUND: Vasopressin is essential for cardiovascular homeostasis, acting via the kidney to regulate water resorption, on the vasculature to regulate smooth muscle tone, and as a central neurotransmitter, modulating brainstem autonomic function. Although it is released in response to stress or shock ...
Heat shock proteins (HSPs), which have been shown to be induced in the kidney by a variety of stress conditions, including ischemia, inflammation, oxidative stress, and toxin exposure, are believed to protect the cells from injury. In the present study, we demonstrated that administration of v...
vasopressin- hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland (trade name Pitressin) and also by nerve endings in the hypothalamus; affects blood pressure by stimulating capillary muscles and reduces urine flow by affecting reabsorption of water by kidney tubules ...

The most important action of vasopressin is its antidiuretic action on the collecting ducts of the kidney. Vasopressin binds to V2 receptors on the cell surface of tubular cells, initiating an intracellular cascade which results in the generation of the water channel, aquaporin-2. Preformed ...
