Vasopressin
A nine-amino-acid peptide hormone made by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary: it makes the kidneys retain water and narrows blood vessels. In medicine it is used for diabetes insipidus and vasodilatory shock. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?Its name recalls the first effect ever seen: in 1895 George Oliver and Edward Sharpey-Schafer noticed that a pituitary extract raised blood pressure. Vincent du Vigneaud, Nobel laureate in 1955, synthesised it just after oxytocin.
