Books about Vasopressin from Amazon.com

The Roles of Vasopressin and Oxytocin in Memory Processing reviews research progress in a subfield of Behavioral Pharmacology concerned with vasopressin's (VP's) and oxytocin (OT's) roles in memory processing (MP). As hormones, VP is well-known for its pressor and antidiuretic action, and OT for its contribution to parturition and nursing. As neurotransmitters, they participate in a wide variety of self- and species-preserving functions expressed at psychological, physiological and behavioral levels.

From the supplier: Patients who have had the hypothalamus or pituitary gland damaged due to surgery or radiation therapy need hormone replacement therapy. Arginine vasopressin balances the body's water content and is replaced by the synthetic 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin. Growth hormone is given to children. Cortisol, replaced with prednisolone, aids in glucose metabolism Thyroxine stimulates the thyroid for growth and development. Testosterone and estrogen produce sexual development in males and females respectively and are given to adolescent patients.
