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.
