    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.

    Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a nonapeptide synthesized in the hypothalamus. Science has known it to play essential roles in the control of the body’s osmotic balance, blood pressure regulation, sodium homeostasis, and kidney functioning.

  4. Vasopressin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by a part of the brain known as the hypothalamus. It serves several essential functions, including maintaining the balance of fluids in the body, normalizing blood pressure, and regulating the sleep-wake cycle.

    Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is a hormone that regulates water and electrolytes (e.g. sodium) balance. It does so by increasing water reabsorption into the bloodstream by acting on the kidneys nephrons.

    Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a nonapeptide synthesized in the hypothalamus. Science has known it to play essential roles in the control of the body’s osmotic balance, blood pressure regulation, sodium homeostasis, and kidney functioning.

  7. vasopressin, hormone that plays a key role in maintaining osmolality (the concentration of dissolved particles, such as salts and glucose, in the serum) and therefore in maintaining the volume of water in the extracellular fluid (the fluid space that surrounds cells).

  8. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin, is a hormone synthesized in the magnocellular neurosecretory cells within the paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus.

    Vasopressin is a peptide hormone produced in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary. Secretion of vasopressin is followed by activation of its receptors V1a, V1b, and V2 throughout the body. Each receptor type is responsible for a specific function of vasopressin.

    Vasopressin (arginine vasopressin, AVP; antidiuretic hormone, ADH) is a peptide hormone formed in the hypothalamus, then transported via axons to the posterior pituitary, which releases it into the blood.

    Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone, is a peptide hormone synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored or released from the posterior pituitary gland. There are four vasopressin receptors in the body: V 1 R, V 2 R, V 3 R, and the oxytocin receptor.
