We report the first direct comparison between the loss of V1 and V2 receptor mediated activities of vasopressinase degraded AVP. There was no significant retention of V1, relative to V2, receptor mediated activity. AVP degradation products are unlikely to be pathogenic in hypertensive pregnancy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
