	Vasopressin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vasopressin is secreted from the posterior pituitary gland in response to reductions in plasma volume and in response to increases in the plasma osmotic pressure.
		Vasopressin is released into the brain in a circadian rhythm by neurons of the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus.
		Vasopressin agonists are used therapeutically in various conditions, and its long-acting synthetic analogue desmopressin is used in conditions featuring low vasopressin secretion, as well as for control of bleeding (in some forms of von Willebrand disease) and in extreme cases of bedwetting by children.

	IAS Bulletin Article: Vasopressin - The Anti-aging, Cognitive Enhancing Neuropeptide
		Vasopressin is a pituitary hormone that is best known for controlling water balance in the body.
		Vasopressin improves attention, retention and recall (both short-term and long-term) and it is well known to enhance short-term memory in normal young adults, as well as in those with age-associated memory impairment (AAMI).
		Vasopressin occasionally produces the following side effects: nasal congestion, runny nose, itch or irritation of the nasal passages, abdominal cramps, headache and increased bowel movements.

		Arginine vasopressin concentration was significantly and negatively correlated with several ratings of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptom severity, while oxytocin concentration was positively correlated with depressive symptoms.
		The intensity and repetition of the behaviors induced by arginine vasopressin is somewhat reminiscent of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in humans.
		METHODS: The CSF levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone, vasopressin, somatostatin, and oxytocin and of the monoamine metabolites 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, homovanillic acid, and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol were measured in 17 children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder before and after long-term treatment with clomipramine.

		Vasopressin: A relatively small (peptide) molecule that is released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain after being made nearby (in the hypothalamus).
		Vasopressin has an antidiuretic action that prevents the production of dilute urine (and so is antidiuretic).
		A syndrome of inappropriate secretion of vasopressin which results in the inability to put out dilute urine, perturbs fluid (and electrolyte) balance, and causes nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, confusion and convulsions may occur in association with oat-cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, and Hodgkin's disease as well as a number of other disorders.

	Antidiuretic Hormone (Vasopressin)
		Such precise control of body water and solute concentrations is a function of several hormones acting on both the kidneys and vascular system, but there is no doubt that antidiuretic hormone is a key player in this process.
		Antidiuretic hormone, also known as vasopressin, is a nine amino acid peptide secreted from the posterior pituitary.
		It was for this effect that the name vasopressin was coined.
