Definitions |
This is a family of cyclic nonapeptide hormones found in most mammals. Synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored in the post-pituitary, vasopressins play a key role in homeostasis, particularly in regulating the body's water content. Vasopressin acts as a vasoconstrictor to increase blood pressure, blood volume, and water reabsorption by the renal collecting ducts. |
