Significance and Uses
Arginine Vasopressin (AVP) is a nonopeptide hormone and neurotransmitter synthesized in hypothalamic supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei and stored in the posterior pituitary. Also known as Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH), AVP exerts powerful antidiuretic action on the kidney by increasing permeability of the collecting tubules to water and urea. Osmotic and non-osmotic stimuli prompt AVP release into peripheral circulation where it affects a variety of anatomical and physiological conditions including emotional stress, posture, blood volume and temperature functions. Alcohol appears to inhibit AVP secretion. Serum AVP measurement is used clinically for studies involving diabetes insipidus, syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH), ectopic AVP production and psychogenic water intoxication.
