The levels of vasopressin in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with alcoholism.
Concentrations of arginine-vasopressin (AVP) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 5 alcoholic patients and 6 healthy volunteers were determined by a radioimmunoassay. The concentrations of AVP in the CSF of alcoholic patients were 2.93-6.17 pg/ml (the mean value, 4.80 +/- 1.34 pg/ml) and those of healthy volunteers 3.80-12.59 pg/ml (the mean value, 9.87 +/- 3.19 pg/ml). The AVP level in the CSF ...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid vasopressin in neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Vasopressin was determined in CSF and plasma of 243 patients with different neurological and psychiatric disorders, including control patients. CSF vasopressin was significantly higher in patients with high pressure hydrocephalus, intracranial tumour, benign intracranial hypertension, intracranial haemorrhage, ischaemic stroke, and craniocerebral trauma. In patients with primary degenerative de...
متن کاملElevated cerebrospinal fluid vasopressin in motor neuron disease.
CSF vasopressin levels were significantly elevated in eight patients with motor neuron disease (2.5 +/- 0.4 pmol/l) compared with controls (0.7 +/- 0.1 pmol/l). CSF oxytocin and plasma vasopressin concentrations were similar in the two groups. This finding may be a primary part of the disease process or an epiphenomenon related to increased autonomic and descending pathway activity secondary to...
متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Apolipoprotein E Levels in Delirium
BACKGROUND/AIMS Delirium and the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele are risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD), but the connection is unclear. We looked for an association. METHODS Inpatients with delirium (n = 18) were compared with LOAD outpatients (n = 19), assaying blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using multiplex ELISA. RESULTS The patients with delirium had a higher Confusion ...
متن کاملPlasma vasopressin concentrations positively predict cerebrospinal fluid vasopressin concentrations in human neonates.
Central arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays a critical role in mammalian social behavior and has been hypothesized to be a biomarker of certain human neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism. However, opportunities to collect post-mortem brain tissue or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from children are extremely limited, and the use of less invasive peripheral assessments (e.g., blood, urine, or s...
