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. Copyright 1997 In-Tele-Health
