Comparison of natural and artificial vasopressin deficiency: why the latter is lethal?

Abstract: The transgenic mouse technology is widespread, however, untill now 22.0 % of tested null mutations was found to be lethal. The complete lack of vasopressin (AVP) resulted also in preweaning lethality. It is surprising take into consideration the viability of the AVP mutant Brattleboro rats. Thus, AVP is essential for survival, but which of its ubiquiter role is the most important. AVP exerts its effect through specific plasma memb ane receptors. V1a receptors can induce vasoconstriction maintaining blood press… Show more

“…Clearly this is an important and complex issue that needs further addressing. Unfortunately, AVP KO mice cannot be studied for LH surges because they die in development (Zelena, 2017), but female Brattleboro rats (with a spontaneous AVP gene mutation) are subfertile, including reduced conception rates and small litters (Boer et al, 1981(Boer et al, , 1982, perhaps due to impaired LH surges (not yet studied).…”
