VASOPRESSIN
A neurotransmitter produced by the hypothalamus. After entering the bloodstream, it turns on pumps that absorb water in the kidneys and keep them away from the bladder. Hypothalamus damage also damages vasopressin that is exactly what happened to Mr. O...
He shot himself with a gun from his right temple. When he was found twelve hours later and taken to the hospital, it was understood that the lead damaged the optic nerves and the man was blind. The relevance of the event to vasopressin begins right here. A total of 396 g in the first two days of recovery period. urinated. In the following days, he pissed 4.5 liters a day, which corresponds to three times the daily amount of urine of an average man.Even up to 5.5 liters of urine in the following days. The reason for this was that the bullet swelled the brain tissue in the path followed by crushing the hypothalamus. When the hypothalamus stopped the production of vasopressin, the urinary bladder, which filled up rapidly, passed to the discharge without stopping.
These are all from Sam Kean's mystery of the human brain.
Also known as antidiuretic hormone or ADH, the vasopressin hormone is released from the magnocellular nuclei of the hypothalamus. From here it passes to the neurohypophysis and from there it enters the bloodstream. It helps regulate the amount of water in the body by controlling the amount of water that the kidneys remove from the body.
The hormone vasopressin is an oligopeptide consisting of 9 amino acids. The amino acids that make up this hormone; cysteine, tyrosine, glutamine, proline, an amino group, phenylalanine, arginine, asparagine and a carboxyl group.
Although the main function of the vasopressin hormone is to regulate processes in the kidneys, this hormone is also effective on the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system.
This hormone is released in response to hypertonicity in body fluids. This allows the kidneys to reabsorb water and return it to the blood from the nephron tubules, returning the tonicity of body fluids to normal.
As a result of the reabsorption of water in the kidneys, urine becomes more concentrated, and therefore the amount of urine is reduced. That is, blood pressure may drop because it causes a slight vasoconstriction when there is a dense release of vasopressin.
Effects of Vasopressin Hormone on the Central Nervous System
Antidiuretic hormones released from hypothalamic neurons regulate blood pressure and body temperature. It has also been proven that this hormone may have pain relieving effects depending on gender and stress.
OXYTOCIN (A VERY BEAUTIFUL HORMONE)
Oxytocin, also referred to as a love hormone, is a hormone that not only makes people fall in love, but also allows the mother to connect her child with special love. According to scientists, the oxytocin hormone secreted when falling in love is also secreted during orgasm and childbirth. Stating that the oxytocin hormone works like a switch and, once released, opens new ways of communication between cells, arguing that people with low oxytocin-sensitive receptors have difficulty in long-term relationships.
There are some symptoms that will allow you to understand that oxytocin has entered your body; The creeks start to flow, gushing, the rabbits jump, the legs stretch into the water, and the clouds begin to look like whipped cream whipped foams. Stops stomach feeling hungry. If oxytocin is secreted, you will not feel hungry and thirsty; It is true. However, you should drink water, quaff.
You have to go and eat until it gets clogged so that the amount of oxytocin in your body increases, until it reaches an uncertain amount. Small movements will increase the amount of oxytocin in your body and accelerate their activation. Thanks to oxytocin, you say hello to a harmonic and simultaneous world.
Plasma oxytocin level was found low in patients with major depression. In women with unipolar or bipolar depression
It has been reported that oxytocin levels are lower than healthy controls and normal in men. In animal models, oxytocin has been shown to show antidepressant activity. In addition, it has been observed that oxytocin infusion increases serotonin release in the refined nucleus, the basis of which selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) act.
Serum oxytocin level was found to be significantly higher in patients with bipolar disorder than healthy controls. In addition, patients with manic episodes have been reported to have significantly higher oxytocin levels than patients with depressive episodes or remission.
It has also been reported that giving oxytocin to the mother to induce labor increases the risk of developing bipolar disorder in the baby 2.4 times in the future (Freedman 2015). The number of studies investigating the role of oxytocin in the etiology of bipolar disorder is limited, as far as we know, there are no studies investigating the effectiveness of treatment.
