...Florian Lang; Isabelle Guelinckx; Guillaume Lemetais; Olle Melander Suboptimal fluid intake may require enhanced release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or vasopressin for the maintenance of adequate hydration. Enhanced copeptin levels (reflecting enhanced vasopressin levels) in 25% of the common...

...E. Meijer; W.E. Boertien; R. Zietse; R.T. Gansevoort The antidiuretic hormone vasopressin is crucial for regulating free water clearance in normal physiology. However, it has also been hypothesized that vasopressin has deleterious effects on the kidney. Vasopressin is elevated in animals...

To prove the role...

...W.J. Burgess; R.J. Balment; J.S. Beck Recent evidence suggests that vasopressin exerts a regulatory influence on transport processes in the rabbit cortical collecting duct via both the baso-lateral and luminal membranes. The present study was undertaken to examine whether luminal vasopressin...

...Gregory W. Stephens; Wilfred Lieberthal; Narendra B. Oza; Robert Valeri; Norman G. Levinsky We have found that arginine vasopressin (AVP) (10 pg/ml) stimulates urinary kallikrein in the isolated erythrocyte perfused rat kidney. (In this model, perfusate flow rate approximates blood flow rates...
