Vasopressin is an important regulator of hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis activation, primarily acting through the V3 receptor (V3R). Many patients with ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas, but not normal individuals, respond to desmopressin, a relatively V2-specific vasopressin agonist, with increa...
