The second major type of vasoconstrictor is a molecule similar to a naturalhormonecalled vasopressin. This hormone, and the copy of it present in the drug products, block receptors in the muscle called V1 receptors, and thereby prevent expansion of the vessel. A significant effect of these hor...

Vasopressin hormone increases permeability of DCT and collecting tubules. This increases reabsorption of water and makes the urine hypertonic.
Neonatal gonadectomy and adult testosterone replacement suggest an involvement of limbic arginine vasopressin and androgen receptors in the organization of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Endocrinology 149: 3581–3591. Borchers AT, Gershwin ME (2012). Sociological differences between women and men...
Central diabetes insipidus is characterized by polyuria and polydipsia and is a direct result of deficiency of vasopressin. Midline mass lesions in brain and body warrant further workup for possible diagnosis of germ cell tumors. We present an interesting case of a young man with suprasellar brain...
A chemical called vasopressin is released from the hypothalamus. This vasopressin regulates the water reabsorption in the kidneys. In the absence of vasopressin, the reabsorption process does not take place, thus inducing rapid water loss from the body. Insomnia: A part of the hypothalamus sets ...
aThe specific aims of the Majzoub laboratory's studies are to determine the impact of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and vasopressin excess and deficiency on regulation of the neuroendocrine and behavioral responses to stress. The researchers seek to identify other neuropeptides related to CRH ...
Serotonin is also the chemical that is responsible for altered perceptions like time. Additionally, the high release of serotonin also triggers the increased production of vasopressin and oxytocin, which play a role in increasing feelings of trust, sexual arousal, and love. Dopamine Dopamine is ...

What is a good way to remember the hypo/hyper signs and symptoms of electrolytes? Electrolyte Imbalances: The body's electrolytes are potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and chloride. The roles that these electrolytes play are essential for everyday functions of the bod...
