| Physuline is an oral vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist drug that has proven effective in patients with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), a condition resulting in fluid overload due to the excessive release of antidiuretic hormone. Their study last September examined the levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that contributes to mood, and arginine vasopressin receptor la, a hormone associated with social communication and bonding. The findings indicate that this condition is caused by a decrease in urine production due to inappropriate secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP). |
