A research team confirmed that interference with the action of arginine vasopressin and corticotrophin-releasing hormone inhibits stress responses in rats during moderate-intensity exercise. Their ...

Distinguishing between arginine vasopressin (AVP) deficiency and primary polydipsia is challenging. Hypertonic saline–stimulated copeptin has been used to diagnose AVP deficiency with high accuracy ...

Cranial diabetes insipidus is a rare condition that results in persistent thirst and frequent urination. It occurs due to problems with arginine vasopressin (AVP), a hormone that plays a role in ...

Patients with arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP-D) appear to also be deficient in oxytocin, the "love hormone," suggesting a possible pathway for treating the psychological symptoms associated with ...

The loca arginine vasopressin receptor la (avpr1a) and oxytocin receptor (oxtr) have evolutionarily conserved roles in vertebrate social and sexual behaviour. Allelic variation at a microsatellite ...

Arginine vasopressin (AVP), also known as antidiuretic hormone, is a nonapeptide secreted from the posterior pituitary gland. The primary stimulus for the secretion of AVP is a rise in serum ...
