We recently reviewed the status of peptide and nonpeptide agonists and antagonists for the
V1a, V1b and V2 receptors for arginine vasopressin (AVP) and the oxytocin receptor for …

Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP) mediate their biological actions by acting on four
known receptors: The OT (uterine) and the AVP V 1a (vasopressor), V 1b (pituitary), V 2 …

The comparative distributions of the vasopressin V1b receptor (V1bR) and the oxytocin
receptor (OTR) messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are described in male rat brain using in situ …

Sites which bind tritiated vasopressin (AVP) with high affinity were detected in the brain of
male, adult rats, by light microscopic autoradiography. Their anatomical localization differed …

THE neurohypophyseal hormone arginine vasopressin has diverse actions1–7, including
the inhibition of diuresis, contraction of smooth muscle, stimulation of liver glycogenolysis …

Vasopressin V1a receptor (V1aR) transcripts were localized in brain, pineal, and superficial
brain vascular tissues of adult male rats using hybridization histochemistry and an [35S] …

Desmopressin (dDAVP), a synthetic analog of the neurohypophyseal nonapeptide arginine
vasopressin, has enhanced antidiuretic potency, markedly diminished pressor activity, and a …

Abstract An oxytocic antagonist,[1-(β-mercapto-β, β-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid, 2-O-
methyltyrosine, 4-threonine, 8-ornithine, 9-tyrosylamide] vasotocin (d (CH 2) 5 [Tyr (Me) 2 …

The ligand specificity of rat adenohypophyseal vasopressin receptors was directly compared
to that of peripheral receptors of the V1 and V2 types. For this purpose a series of 15 recently …

The distribution of cells expressing mRNA encoding a vasopressin V 1a receptor (V 1a R)
was examined in Long-Evans male and female rats by in situ hybridization using a [35 S] …
