Background—Solid organ donors often develop hypotension due to vasodilation, and
recently we observed that a variety of vasodilatory states are characterized by vasopressin …

The use of vasopressin to limit the polyuria of the brain-dead organ donor is a controversial
subject. It is held that the associated vasoconstriction may result in ischemic damage to …

Background The hypotension of septic shock is due to systemic vasodilation. On the basis of
a clinical observation, we investigated the possibility that a deficiency in vasopressin …

OBJECTIVES:: Relative vasopressin deficiency, a contributor to vasodilatory septic shock,
also may be a cause of the vasodilatory state in liver disease. This study assessed …

Background: Many recent studies suggest that vasopressin deficiency is an important cause
of catecholamine‐resistant hypotension with vasodilation in adults, but little is known about …

Vasodilatory hypotension requiring the administration of catecholamine pressors may occur
following cardiopulmonary bypass. We investigated the hemodynamic response to arginine …

Several lines of evidence have suggested that neurohypophysial vasopressin secretion is
under the influence of glucocorticoid negative feedback. Studies in clinical and experimental …

In the present study, the effect of selective glucocorticoid deficiency on renal water excretion
was investigated in conscious, trained, adrenalectomized dogs. The animals were studied …

The effect of adrenal insufficiency on the plasma concentrations of two vasoactive
hormones, vasopressin and angiotensin II, was studied in conscious dogs. In addition the …

To better understand the role of arginine vasopressin in cardiovascular regulation, we
measured in unanesthetized dogs regional blood flows with radioactive microspheres …
