Argipressin diacetate  (Synonyms: Arg8-vasopressin diacetate; AVP diacetate; ADH)

Argipressin (diacetate) (AVP (diacetate), also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH)) is a 9 amino acid neuropeptide secreted by the posterior pituitary. Argipressin (diacetate) (AVP (diacetate)) can regulate the biological effects of fluid balance, osmolality and cardiovascular through three separate G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), namely Avpr1a (V1a), Avpr1b (V1b) and Avpr2 (V2). Argipressin (diacetate) (AVP (diacetate)) also have potentially important effects on centrally regulated metabolic processes^[1].

Argipressin (diacetate) (AVP (diacetate)) induces proliferation and prevented cytokine-induced apoptosis in rodent and human beta-cells^[1].

Argipressin (diacetate) (AVP (diacetate)) (25 nmol/kg bw; intraperitoneal injection; once) significantly reduces overall AUC glucose values, but not increases insulin levels in mice^[1].
