Vasopressin, also known as arginine vasopressin (AVP), antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or argipressin, is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals.Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels. It is likely that vasopressin acts in conjunction with corticotropin-releasing hormone to modulate the release of corticosteroids from the adrenal gland in response to stress, particularly during pregnancy and lactation in mammals.
In the body, vasopressin acts on the kidneys and blood vessels. Vasopressin helps prevent the loss of water from the body by reducing urine output and helping the kidneys reabsorb water in the body.Vasopressin also raises blood pressure by constricting (narrowing) blood vessels.Vasopressin is used to treat diabetes insipidus, which is caused by a lack of this naturally occurring pituitary hormone in the body.n the body, vasopressin acts on the kidneys and blood vessels.
