The Effect of Arginine Vasotocin on Cryoprotectant Production during Freezing in the Pacific Chorus Frog, Pseudacris Regilla
… this process are not yet fully understood. Arginine vasotocin is a neurohypophyseal peptide known to have glycogenolytic effects as well as regulate several key processes involved in fluid and solute transportation. Although one prior study suggested that AVT is not involved in responses to …

Estradiol regulation of the neurohypophysial hormones in the goldfish, Carassius auratus.
… that are homologous to the mammalian, arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT). In teleosts, arginine vasotocin (AVT) and isotocin (IST) replace AVP and OXT, respectively. In mammals, the NHs have distinct functions as AVP is involved with fluid homeostasis and blood pressure …

Comparison of the sodium ion channel densities, the water flux changes, and the membrane capacitance changes in the pelvic and pectoral skin of the toad, Bufo woodhousei
The amphibian antidiuretic hormone arginine vasotocin (AVT) stimulated osmotic water flow (JH{dollar}\sb2{dollar}O) across isolated skin from the pelvic but not the pectoral region of the toad, Bufo woodhousei. The apical membrane capacitance (C{dollar}\sb{\rm a}{dollar}) of the cells in the …

Characterization Of Neuronal Groups Regulating Sexual And Agonistic Behavior In Male Chicken (Gallus Gallus)
… by double labeling Fos with aromatase (ARO) and arginine vasotocin (AVT). Male courtship behavior significantly increased co-expressions of ARO+Fos and AVT+Fos in the BSTM2. In the POM, inter-male interactions decreased visible ARO cell counts while the opposite-sex interaction increased …

Water relations of the endemic New Zealand frogs Leiopelma archeyi, L. Hamiltoni and L. Hochstetteri
… when compared with L. archeyi. Treatment with arginine vasotocin (AVT, 7 x 10⁻¹¹ mol g⁻¹) produced water balance responses similar to those seen during rehydration. L. archeyi and L. hamiltoni placed in shallow water showed rapid water retention, reaching weight gains of 31% and 29% …

The neural regulation of fatherhood, insights from the anemonfish amphiprion ocellaris
… spawning events. Chapter 3 explores the role of arginine vasotocin (AVT) and isotocin (IT) signaling during paternal care. Here, using antagonists specific to each peptide receptor, I demonstrated that blockade of IT signaling dramatically reduced total parental effort in males. Moreover, results …

A multipronged approach to understanding how genes contribute to social behavior in threespine stickleback
… of candidate genes, monoamine oxidase (MAOA) and arginine vasopressin (AVP), on territorial aggression in the sticklebacks. This method is flexible, fast, and amenable to statistically powerful within-subject experimental designs, making it practical for use in natural populations. Fish …
