Hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland (trade name Pitressin) and also by nerve endings in the hypothalamus; affects blood pressure by stimulating capillary muscles and reduces urine flow by affecting reabsorption of water by kidney tubules.
The findings provide information necessary for modeling the transcriptional response to vasopressin.
2
Arginine vasopressin is considered to play an important role in severe hemorrhage.
3
Medical therapies such as vasopressin and somatostatin can also be useful adjuncts.
4
During treatment oestradiol appeared to enhance and testosterone to suppress vasopressin release.
5
Copeptin is a sensitive and more stable surrogate marker for arginine vasopressin.
1
Patients who lack this antidiuretichormone suffer from central diabetes insipidus.
2
A single E2078 administration reduced plasma antidiuretichormone dose-dependently.
3
The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretichormone seems to us to be a frequent complication of severe craniocerebral trauma.
4
Surgical intervention, in the case of acute craniocerebral trauma, does not result in a higher frequency of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretichormone.
5
The hyponatremia caused by syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretichormone (SIADH) was treated with normal saline and water restriction.
1
Conclusion: We conclude that rare ADH variants are specific for alcohol dependence.
2
Twenty-four hours after LDN, mean ADH levels had returned to normal values.
3
The incidence of ADH seems to be lower than in Western countries.
4
These localization patterns were basically the same in water-loaded and ADH-treated animals.
5
Only one case of ADH could be detected by imprint cytology.
