Familial neurohypophysial diabetes insipidus (FNDI) characterized by progressive polyuria is mostly caused by mutations in the gene encoding neurophysin II (NPII), which is the carrier protein of the ...

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 ...

Oxytocin, arginine vasopressin, lysine vasopressin, arginine vasotocin, as well as their cyclic and acyclic analogs, were studied by carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in deuterium ...

A previous study has shown that the stress responsive neurohormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) is activated in the amygdala during early withdrawal from cocaine. The present studies were undertaken to ...

Researchers from Gedeon Richter plc have reported the discovery of novel dual vasopressin V1A/V2 antagonist, drug candidates for arginine vasopressin (AVP) for the potential treatment of hyponatremia.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Circadian rhythms in mammals are coordinated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). SCN neurons define ...

As a heart fails, losing its ability to squeeze blood through the circulatory system, the body releases a neurohormone that interferes with the heart's best chance to improve contractility, a team ...

In the last two decades, interest in the neuropeptides oxytocin (OXT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP) has dramatically increased. Why are these brain chemicals of interest in autism spectrum disorder ...

The study covered in this summary was published on Research Square as a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. The researchers suggest using as a cutoff a copeptin level of >3.4 pmol/L at ...

Diabetes insipidus occurs when problems with antidiuretic hormone (ADH) cause the body to remove too much water. A synthetic version of ADH can help restore a person’s levels and treat some types of ...

An important part of your self-care plan for treating diabetes insipidus will include drinking enough water to avoid dehydration. Medications like desmopressin or thiazide diuretics may also help with ...
