Vasopressin
Also known as:
ADH; Anti-Diuretic Hormone; Antidiuretic Hormone;
Antidiuretin; Pitressin
Description
Neuropeptide produced by the Hypothalamus and stored and released by the posterior
Pituitary Gland.
Biological Functions of Vasopressin
Vasopressin regulates Electrolytes in the body.
Diabetes Insipidus occurs as a result of Vasopressin deficiency.
Vasopressin controls Urine volume and prevents Frequent Urination.
Vasopressin causes contraction of Smooth Muscles (especially the Smooth Muscles of
Blood Vessels).
Vasopressin improves Memory and Intelligence in persons afflicted with Alzheimer’s
Disease [scientific research - humans].
Vasopressin increases Attention Span.
Vasopressin improves Concentration ability.
Vasopressin improves Memory in persons afflicted with Dementia [scientific
research - humans].
Depression can occur as a result of Vasopressin deficiency.
Vasopressin is responsible for some aspects of human Intelligence.
Vasopressin is essential for new Learning to occur as Vasopressin transforms the
Nerve Impulses associated with Learning into chemically encoded (long term and short
term) Memory.
Vasopressin is released in large quantities during Trauma or the anticipation of trauma
and is responsible for seeing your "life flash before your eyes" during periods of extreme
trauma.
These Substances cause the Release (and Destruction) of Vasopressin
Nicotine stimulates the release of Vasopressin from the Hypothalamus.
Cocaine causes depletion of Vasopressin due to its over-stimulation of the Central
Nervous System causing the sudden release and non-replacement of the body's reserves
of Vasopressin.
Amphetamine (and Amphetamine Derivatives such as Ritalin) cause the Brain to
release Vasopressin and to block the recycling of Vasopressin, resulting in the high
concentration of Vasopressin in the Synapses between Neurons that is responsible for the
stimulatory effects of Amphetamine [however long term or excessive usage of
Amphetamine causes Vasopressin depletion due to the large amounts of Vasopressin that
are released but not replaced].
LSD causes the release and destruction of Vasopressin.
These Substances Inhibit the Release of Vasopressin
Alcohol prevents the release of Vasopressin within the Brain.
Marijuana prevents the release of Vasopressin within the Brain.
Synthetic Vasopressin is manufactured and sold under the name Diapid.
