It is believed that the vasopressinergic system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of
chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CKD on …

Abstract Aquaporin-2 (AQP-2) has been shown to be a vasopressin-sensitive water channel
in collecting duct (CD) cells of the kidney. To prove the role of the vasopressin V2 receptor …

Urinary concentration characteristically decreases in response to a reduction in renal mass
in chronic renal failure (CRF). In the present study, we examined whether there are changes …

Aims The aim of the present study was to evaluate the regulation of Aquaporin-2 (AQP2)
water channel in the kidney of one-kidney, one-clip rats (Goldblatt-1 model). In addition …

Acute loss of kidney function is a critical internal stressor. Arginine vasopressin (AVP)
present in the parvocellular division of the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) plays a key role in …

We tested the hypothesis that testosterone-induced increase in blood pressure was due to
changes in aquaporin (AQP) expression in kidneys. In this study, expression level of kidney …

The effects of the nonpeptide orally effective vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist OPC-
21268 were studied in progressive focal glomerulosclerosis (FGS) which developed in …

Water permeability of the kidney collecting ducts is regulated by the peptide hormone
vasopressin. Between minutes and hours (short-term), vasopressin induces trafficking of the …

We determined alterations in renal aquaporin-2 (AQP2) gene expression in association with
impaired water excretion in glucocorticoid-deficient rats. After adrenalectomy, Sprague …

We have previously shown that kidney collecting ducts make vasopressin. However, the
physiological role of collecting duct-derived vasopressin is uncertain. We hypothesized that …
