Vasopressin (arginine vasopressin, AVP; antidiuretic hormone, ADH) is a peptide hormone formed in the hypothalamus, then transported via axons to, and released from, the posterior pituitary into the blood. AVP has two principle sites of action: the kidney and blood vessels.
Cutaneous anthrax symptoms can include: 1  A group of small blisters or bumps that may itch. 2  Swelling can occur around the sore. 3  A painless skin sore (ulcer) with a black center that appears after the small blisters or bumps Most often the sore will be on the face, neck, arms, or hands.
Symptoms depend on the form the disease takes: 1  Cutaneous (skin) anthrax begins as a raised bump on the skin. Within one or two days, it becomes a blister, and then a painless ulcer, with a black area in the center. 2  Intestinal anthrax is very rare. It begins with nausea, loss of appetite, vomiting, and fever.
