... new, swift methods to identify those neonates who would benefit from neuroprotective treatments such as hypothermia. Objectives: To examine the utility of cord serum copeptin, a stable byproduct of arginine vasopressin release, as a biomarker of birth asphyxia based on a comparison with 2 biomarkers...

...Deirdre L. Tyson; Lois M. Landin; Raphael David; Doug-Jin Yoon Testicular immunoreactive arginine vasopressin (irAVP) has been shown to inhibit testosterone production by the Leydig cell in vitro. We studied pre- and postpubertal rats and the results are in agreement with the notion...

...S. Deloof; A. Chatelain; A. Leprêtre The effects of rat corticotropin-releasing factor (rCRF, 1.25 pmol/50 μl/fetus), arginine vasopressin (AVP, 5 pmol/50 μl/fetus) and oxytocin (OT, 12.5 pmol/50 μl/fetus) alone or in association were investigated in 21-day-old rat fetuses injected intravenously...

...E. Sulyok; L. Kovács; B. Lichardus; J. Bircak The role of endogenous dopamine (DA) in regulating arginine vasopressin (AVP) release and renal water excretion was studied in 10 premature infants with a mean birth weight of 1,341 g (range 1,150–1,660 g) and a mean gestational age of 30.2 weeks (28–33...

.... Although OT-VT is immunoreactive with an antiserum raised against synthetic arginine vasotocin (AVT), the elution profile of OT-VT by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is distinct from AVT, arginine vasopressin (AVP) or oxytocin (OT). Because the fetus is also exposed to high estrogen levels...

...Pauline Alexander; R.A. Bashore; H.G. Britton; Mary L. Forsling Catheters were implanted into the fetal dorsalis pedis and maternal jugular veins of 6 ewes of 122–130 days gestation age. Fetal plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) concentrations rose in the last few days before parturition from...

...). Plasma levels of dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, arginine vasopressin, and atrial natriuretic peptide were measured at admission and at 24 h after birth. Results: Infants in the SH group had higher plasma dopamine than infants in the MH group both at admission (median; range: 14,410; 224–46,770 vs...

...V. Kavvadia; A. Greenough; G. Dimitriou; M.L. Forsling Arginine vasopressin (AVP) levels on days 1, 3 and 5 and fluid balance in the perinatal period were assessed in 60 infants, median gestational age 27 weeks (range 24–33). Fluid input and output, urine osmolality and episodes of hyponatraemia...
