Human vasopressin, also called antidiuretic hormone ( ADH ), arginine vasopressin ( AVP) or argipressin, [5] is a hormone synthesized from the AVP gene as a peptide prohormone in neurons in the hypothalamus, [6] and is converted to AVP. It then travels down the axon terminating in the posterior pituitary, and is released from vesicles into the ...
homodimer of human ADH5. [1] Alcohol dehydrogenases ( ADH) ( EC 1.1.1.1) are a group of dehydrogenase enzymes that occur in many organisms and facilitate the interconversion between alcohols and aldehydes or ketones with the reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD +) to NADH.
Desmopressin ( 1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin) is a synthetic form of the normal human hormone arginine vasopressin (the antidiuretic hormone, or ADH), a peptide containing nine amino acids. Compared to vasopressin, desmopressin's first amino acid has been deaminated, and the arginine at the eighth position is in the dextro rather than the ...

Lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, seizures and coma [1] The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion ( SIADH ), also known as the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD), [2] is characterized by a physiologically inappropriate release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) either from the posterior pituitary gland ...
Vasopressin receptor antagonist. A vasopressin receptor antagonist ( VRA) is an agent that interferes with action at the vasopressin receptors. Most commonly VRAs are used in the treatment of hyponatremia, especially in patients with congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis or SIADH. [1]
Login. In computer security, logging in (or logging on, signing in, or signing on) is the process by which an individual gains access to a computer system or program by identifying and authenticating themselves. The user credentials are typically some form of a username and a password, [1] and these credentials themselves are sometimes referred ...
In Wikidata. Vasopressin analogues are chemicals similar in function but not necessarily similar in structure to vasopressin (ADH), such as desmopressin . Desmopressin is administered as an oral spray to treat diseases where ADH is either not being produced in sufficient amounts, or vasopressin's receptors are not being stimulated by vasopressin.
