Arginine vasotocin regulation of interspecific cooperative behaviour in a cleaner fish.

PLoS ONE 7(7) , e39583, (2012)

In an interspecific cooperative context, individuals must be prepared to tolerate close interactive proximity to other species but also need to be able to respond to relevant social stimuli in the most appropriate manner. The neuropeptides vasopressin and oxy...

Brain arginine vasotocin immunoreactivity differs between urban and desert curve-billed thrashers, Toxostoma curvirostre: relationships with territoriality and stress physiology.

Brain Behav. Evol. 79(2) , 84-97, (2012)

The neuropeptide arginine vasotocin (AVT: the avian homolog of vasopressin) has numerous functional roles including mediating social behaviors, coregulating the adrenocortical stress response and maintaining water balance. These functions of AVT make it susce...

Experimental evidence of early costs of reproduction in conspecific viviparous and oviparous lizards.

J. Evol. Biol. 25(7) , 1264-74, (2012)

Reproduction entails costs, and disentangling the relative importance of each stage of the reproductive cycle may be important to assess the costs and benefits of different reproductive strategies. We studied the early costs of reproduction in oviparous and v...

[Arg8]vasotocin excites neurones in the dorsal vagal complex in vitro: evidence for an action through novel class(es) of CNS receptors.

J. Neuroendocrinol. 6(4) , 415-22, (1994)

Using extracellular recordings from brainstem slices in vitro, it was demonstrated that a high proportion (38/56) of neurones in the dorsal vagal complex of dioestrus, virgin female rats exhibit an excitatory response to [Arg8]-vasotocin (AVT). Pharmacologica...

Mutational analysis and molecular modeling of the nonapeptide hormone binding domains of the [Arg8]vasotocin receptor.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 93 , 6907, (1996)

To identify determinants that form nonapeptide hormone binding domains of the white sucker Catostomus commersoni [Arg8]vasotocin receptor, chimeric constructs encoding parts of the vasotocin receptor and parts of the isotocin receptor have been analyzed by [(...

The effects of [Arg8]vasopressin and [Arg8]vasotocin on the firing rate of suprachiasmatic neurons in vitro.

Neuroscience 62 , 783, (1994)

The excitatory effect of [Arg8]-vasopressin and its potential contribution to the circadian cycle of electrical activity in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the rat was investigated using extracellular recordings from hypothalamic slices from virgin female rats...

Pharmacological Characterization of Arginine Vasotocin Vascular Smooth Muscle Receptors in the Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)in Vitro

Gen. Comp. Endocrinol. 114 , 36, (1999)

Arginine vasotocin (AVT) is present in the neurohypophysis of all nonmammalian vertebrates and it appears to be the antecedent of the neurohypophysial nonapeptide hormones. Relatively little is known about AVT receptors in lower vertebrates, especially fish, ...

An essential role of the arginine vasotocin system in mate-guarding behaviors in triadic relationships of medaka fish (Oryzias latipes).

PLoS Genet. 11(2) , e1005009, (2015)

To increase individual male fitness, males of various species remain near a (potential) mating partner and repel their rivals (mate-guarding). Mate-guarding is assumed to be mediated by two different types of motivation: sexual motivation toward the opposite ...
