Arginine Vasopressin

…Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is one of the hormones of the posterior pituitary gland that regulates urine volume (antidiuretic effect). Like oxytocin, it is a cyclic peptide consisting of nine amino acids. In humans and most other mammals, the eighth amino acid is arginine, so it is called arginine vasopressin, while in pigs and other animals, it is called lysine vasopressin, so it is called lysine vasopressin. Vasopressin synthesized in nerve cells in the hypothalamus of the brain is transported through nerve fibers to the posterior pituitary gland, where it is stored, and is secreted into the blood in response to stimuli such as slight changes in the osmotic pressure of the blood or a decrease in blood volume. …
