Lack of V1 vasopressin receptors in rabbit hepatocytes.

چکیده
Vasopressin does not induce glycogenolysis in rabbit hepatocytes; glucagon, angiotensin, phenylephrine and ATP are as potent as with rat hepatocytes, whereas isoprenaline is nearly 10000 times more potent in the rabbit. Binding studies of [3H]vasopressin reveal the complete absence of specific vasopressin receptors on rabbit liver plasma membranes. We verified that vasopressin acts as an antidiuretic and vasopressor agent in the rabbit. We conclude that there is a selective lack of V1 vasopressin receptors in rabbit liver.

Characterization of vasopressin actions in isolated submucosal arterioles of the intestinal microcirculation.
Submucosal arterioles are the final resistance vessels of the mesenteric circulation; they supply intestinal mucosa and smooth muscle and contribute significantly to total mesenteric resistance. Characterization of receptors present on submucosal arterioles has not been carried out, because these vessels have not been accessible to study by previous methods. We have used a novel optical method ...
متن کاملExpression of all known vasopressin receptor subtypes by small cell tumors implies a multifaceted role for this neuropeptide.
Vasopressin is one of several small neuropeptides that are reported to be autocrine growth factors for small cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL). It has been assumed that this peptide exercises its mitogenic influences through the vasopressin V1a receptor, and we have previously demonstrated that this receptor is expressed by classical and variant SCCL. Activation of the vasopressin V1a receptor ...
متن کاملIn vitro binding and receptor-mediated activity of terlipressin at vasopressin receptors V1 and V2
Terlipressin, a synthetic, systemic vasoconstrictor with selective activity at vasopressin-1 (V1) receptors, is a pro-drug for the endogenous/natural porcine hormone [Lys8]-vasopressin (LVP). We investigated binding and receptor-mediated cellular activities of terlipressin, LVP, and endogenous human hormone [Arg8]-vasopressin (AVP) at V1 and vasopressin-2 (V2) receptors. Cell membrane homogenat...
متن کاملCharacterization of the human liver vasopressin receptor Profound differences between human and rat vasopressin
The [Arg8]vasopressin (AVP) receptor expressed by human hepatocytes was characterized, and compared with the rat hepatic Vl vasopressin receptor subtype. In addition to determining the pharmacological profile of the human receptor, the cellular responses to AVP were measured in human and rat hepatocytes by assaying glycogen phosphorylase a activity and DNA synthesis. Marked differences were obs...
متن کاملDifferential modulation of the baroreceptor reflex by brain and plasma vasopressin.
Plasma vasopressin sensitizes the baroreceptor reflex, whereas vasopressin given into the cerebral ventricle overrides the baroreceptor reflex by means of sympathetic stimulation. To test the hypothesis that arginine vasopressin stimulates two different receptor subtypes (V1 and V2) in the central nervous system, we measured the baroreceptor reflex (change in pulse interval vs change in blood p...
