CSF vasopressin concentration is reduced in Alzheimer's disease.
Abstract
The concentration of arginine vasopressin (AVP) was measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by radioimmunoassay. Serial dilution curves and reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed that the material measured behaved identically to authentic vasopressin. Levels of CSF AVP were reduced by 37% in Alzheimer's disease, but were normal in Huntington's disease, normal-pressure hydrocephalus, and several other neurologic …
