 Vasopressin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evidence for this comes from experimental studies, in several species, which indicate that the precise distribution of vasopressin and vasopressin receptors in the brain is associated with species-typical patterns of social behavior.
A very similar substance, lysine vasopressin (LVP) or lypressin, has the same function in pigs and is often used in human therapy.
In recent years there has been particular interest in the role of vasopressin in social behavior.

Vasopressin occasionally produces the following side effects: nasal congestion, runny nose, itch or irritation of the nasal passages, abdominal cramps, headache and increased bowel movements.
To test their theory, the authors administered posterior pituitary powder, (as a source of vasopressin) to two year-old rats.
They had previously found that Vasopressin (ADH) restored a youthful pattern of fluid distribution in rats (Friedman, et al, 1960, 1963 [b]), and improved renal function in aging men (Ruol, et al, 1963).
