Perspectives on Vasopressin

Perspectives on Vasopressin

Vasopressin is a hormone which has an increasingly important profile. Not only does it play a physiologically significant role in renal water regulation but it also has other renal actions and plays a role in overall cardiovascular control. Even more interesting is the recent growing interest in its potential effects on the brain, notably its influence on specific behaviours. This monograph about the polypeptide vasopressin covers all aspects relating to the production, control of release, and actions of this molecule within the body, including its roles as a hormone and as a central neurotransmitter. A consideration of the evolution of the molecule across the species and a brief historical ...

Hormones

Endocrinology is a field in which enormous advances have been made in the last decade; the rate of discovery of new hormones, hormone-like molecules, receptors, and mechanisms of action is continually advancing. The development of techniques in immunology and molecular biology has led to the possibility of describing in detail the gene structure of many of the compounds involved in hormonal systems. Remarkable homology has been shown between oncogene products and various components of the endocrine network, leading to the asser tion that deregulation of hormonal function is involved in the generation and/or development of cancer. We now know that the central nervous system is both a target a...

Brain Somatic Cross-Talk and the Central Control of Metabolism

The present book summarizes presentations to an IPSEN Foundation Conference on Brain Somatic Cross Talk and the Central Control of Metabolism, organised in 2002. It proposes a state-of-the-art outline of the multifaceted neuronal networks which serve the highly selective purpose of adapting growth, metabolism, reproduction, and more generally energy consumption to the availability of food resources. The physiology of over twenty neurotransmitters and peptides underlying these functions is presented, together with their neuronal targets, their mechanism of action and their current or anticipated relevance for pathology. Functions covered are as diverse as regulation of food intake and sleep, adaptation to emergency situations, and finally mental disorders - as well as early, irreversible imprinting of epigenetic influences on physiological and behavioural patterns, which in some cases can even be transmitted from generation to generation.
