A multiple number of studies provide evidence that vasopressin (AVP) and steroid hormones
are frequently secreted together and closely cooperate in the regulation of blood pressure …

The hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) is the most important central site for the
integration of autonomic function, and the main source of vasopressin (VP). It is well known …

Pituitary hormones play a key role in the coordinated regulation of body functions. The
neural part of the pituitary gland (the posterior pituitary) is functionally and morphologically …

In mammals, vasopressin is known to be synthesized in the hypothalamus and released in
the blood stream at the pituitary level. This neuropeptide is also synthesized and secreted by …

In the 40 years since vasopressin (AVP) was reported to have a central action with respect to
raising blood pressure, the finding has been repeatedly replicated using a variety of …

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is an important hormone in the regulation of H 2 O excretion (1–
3). Increases in AVP result in a rapid modification of renal excretion of H 2 O, resulting in a …

Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are frequently associated with transient and
prolonged hypoxia, whereas hypoxia exerts pro-hypertensive effects, through stimulation of …

The pressor and antidiuretic actions of arginine vasopressin (AVP) have been well
documented. This review focuses on the less widely appreciated actions of AVP which also …

The precise role of vasopressin in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease is
controversial, but this peptide hormone is important for several reasons. Firstly, circulating …

Vasopressins are evolutionarily conserved peptide hormones. Mammalian vasopressin
functions systemically as an antidiuretic and regulator of blood and cardiac flow essential for …
