Central Nervous System Effects of the Neurohypophyseal Hormones and Related Peptides
Abstract
This review of the CNS effects of the neurohypophyseal hormones and related neuropeptides discusses recent data illustrating the significance of these principles in brain function, synthesis, distribution, in particular in extrahypothalamic brain structures, binding sites, and signal transduction. Binding sites for vasopressin of the vascular V1a type have been found in the CNS and there is evidence for the existence of a subtype of the antidiuretic V2 receptor in the brain. Also two types of oxytocin binding sites have been detected. One widely distributed throughout the CNS is comparable to the uterine type receptor and a sexually dimorphic slightly different type is found in the ventromedial nucleus. Vasopressin and oxytocin can be converted to highly selective C-terminal fragments as AVP-(4-9) and OXT-(4-9) and shorter fragments. Conversely they can be acetylated. This almost completely blocks intrinsic activity in bioassays for central and peripheral effects. Such modifications are a good example of the plasticity of a neuropeptide system. For a number of CNS effects of the neurohypophyseal hormones, the whole molecule is required, as it is for their endocrine effects. This is the case for the influence of vasopressin on social communication, temperature regulation, epilepsy, and barrel rotation which may be an animal model of febrile convulsions, and some aspects of the central regulation of the cardiovascular system and for oxytocin on sexual behavior, social communica…

In the citing paper
“This hormone is secreted into systemic circulation and targets the adrenal cortex, ultimately resulting in a release of glucocorticoids (de Wied et al., 1993).”

In the citing paper
“Upon disturbance of homeostasis, corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF) is released from paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, stimulating the release of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) from the anterior pituitary (Fig. 4).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
