The arginine vasopressin (AVP)-magnocellular neurosecretory system (AVPMNS) in the hypothalamus plays a critical role in homeostatic regulation as well as in allostatic motivational behaviors. However, it remains unclear whether adult neurogenesis exists in the AVPMNS. By using immunoreaction against AVP, neurophysin II, glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP), cell division marker (Ki67), migrating neuroblast markers (doublecortin, DCX), microglial marker (Ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1, Iba1), and 5'-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), we report morphological evidence that low-rate neurogenesis and migration occur in adult AVPMNS in the rat hypothalamus.

The reactions of the medicinal gold(I) compound auranofin and its close analogues with vasopressin and the diselenide analogue were comparatively investigated by LC-electrospray MS/MS. Evidence is gained of the possible cleavage of the S-S and Se-Se bridges induced by Au(I). Notably, we found that, in the absence of reducing agents, the sulfur and selenium atoms are metallated only at high temperature (70 °C) with the preferential binding of gold to selenium.

Arginine vasopressin (AVP), which is also called antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a neurohormone synthetized from a pre-pro-hormone precursor in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus in response to increased plasma osmolality and decreased blood volume. AVP exerts several effects by binding to three different receptors: V1aR, V1bR, and V2R. In recent years, it has been suggested that increased plasma concentration of AVP may play a causal role in the development of type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, renal dysfunction and cardiovascular disease by influencing glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism through several possible mechanisms involving V1aR and V1bR.

The histogenesis of HH is uncertain, and diagnosis of HH is difficult in small biopsies due to its close resemblance to normal hypothalamic nuclei. TTF-1 and arginine vasopressin (AVP) are associated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone release.
