Is vasopressin the same as ADH? Vasopressin, also known asantidiuretic hormone, is a peptide hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored or released from the posterior pituitary gland. There are four vasopressin receptors in the body: V1R, V2R, V3R, and the oxytocin receptor. Is vasopr...
Arginine vasopressin (AVP), also known as argipressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a human hormonethat is released when the body is low on water; it causes the kidneysto conserve water, but not salt, by concentrating the urineand reducing urine volume. It also raises blood pressure by...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex heterogenous disorder manifesting with various reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic derangements such as insulin resistance and hyperglycemia. The arginine vasopressin peptide (AVP), also called or antidiuretic hormone (ADH), modulates metabolic functions such...
It is unlikely, however, that this hemody- namic change would affect liquid secretion by the respiratory epithelium, as we and others have shown that this active secretory process is unresponsive to modest changes in vascu- lar filtration pressure (1, 37). The observation that intrapulmo- nary...
. The values for arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin observed in the pancreatic neoplasm are in the same range as those present in the human neurohypophysis.doi:10.1016/0002-9343(68)90196-4Leon J. MarksBotond BerdeLester A. Klein
As described previously (4), the ewe was standing in a cart with free access to food and water and the neonate was lightly restrained, its body temperature maintained at 39°C and kept well hydrated with 0.2 ml/(min. kg) 5% glucose in 0.45% saline intravenous infusion throughout the ...
Vasopressin, hormone that plays a key role in maintaining osmolality (the concentration of dissolved particles, such as salts and glucose, in the serum) and therefore in maintaining the volume of water in the extracellular fluid (the fluid space that sur
Vasopressin receptors mediate the cellular actions of arginine vasopressin (AVP, also known as antidiuretic hormone or ADH) in many tissues. The main endocrine functions of AVP are the facilitation of water reabsorbtion by the kidney (V2 vasopressin receptors) and the contraction of smooth muscle ce...
Secretion of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) vasopressin is increased when body fluid homeostasis is disturbed by dehydration. Associated with this increased secretion is an elevation of vasopressin mRNA in magnocellular hypothalamic neurons projecting to the posterior pituitary. The proto-oncogene c- fos...
