Cardiovascular Actions of Vasopressin

  • Chapter
Vasopressin

Abstract

Although the cardiovascular actions of vasopressin (VP) have been examined systematically only in recent years, Oliver and Schafer (1895) first observed the vaso-pressor activity of pituitary gland extracts in 1895. This was soon confirmed by three other investigators (Howell, 1898; Livon, 1898; von Cyon, 1898) and Howell demonstrated that the pressor principle resided in extracts of the posterior lobe. It was from these early observations that VP derived its name. The antidi-uretic actions of VP were not observed until 1913, when two physicians working independently, Farini (1913), in Italy, and Von den Velden (1913), in Germany, reported successful treatment of patients with diabetes insipidus by injections of posterior pituitary extracts. With the 1924 demonstration of the antidiuretic effects of posterior pituitary extracts on the isolated kidney by Starling and Verney (1924), the antiduretic role of the neurohypophysis became the predominant aspect of interest related to VP. It became clear that this hormone was of vital importance for the conservation of body fluids and that, although pressor activity was widely observed, it was evident that these actions required amounts far in excess of those required for maximal antidiuretic activity (Saameli, 1968; Sawyer, 1971; Nakano, 1974). These important antidiuretic actions of VP are reviewed in Chapter 9.
