Kauli, R., and Laron, Z. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 482. A vasopressin analogue in treatment of diabetes insipidus. Six children, 3 adolescents, and 3 adults with vasopressin-sensitive diabetes insipidus were treated with a vasopressin analogue, DDAVP (1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin), at a daily dose ranging from 5 to 20 ,ug administered twice a day intranasally. The peri...

House dust mite allergens express protease activity and it has been suggested that this property has pathogenic effects by increasing airway absorption. In accordance, house dust mite allergens may increase mucosal permeability in vitro. The objective of the present study was to examine nasal absorption of desmopressin (1-deamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin) in patients with perennial house dust m...

Vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) receptors (nomenclature as recommended by NC-IUPHAR [94]) are activated the endogenous cyclic nonapeptides vasopressin oxytocin. These peptides derived from precursors which also produce neurophysins (neurophysin I for oxytocin; neurophysin II vasopressin). differ at only 2 amino acids (positions 3 8). There metabolites of these neuropeptides that may be biol...

The aims of treatment of diabetes insipidus are replacement therapy with a vasopressin preparation, ancillary use of chlorpropamide or thiazide diuretics in some cases, and eradication of the underlying cause of the condition where appropriate. Replacement therapy only will be considered in this communication. This poses several problems. Pitressin snuff may cause local complications such as ch...
