[Mnesic function in 5 patients suffering from central idiopathic diabetes insipidus (author's transl)]. 1980

P Gilot, and J Crabbe, and J J Legros

Mnesic function has been tested in 5 patients suffering from central idiopathic diabetes insipidus 3 days after withdrawal of treatment (DDAVP) and 3 days after substitutive therapy. In general basal scores are low but no specific profile of disturbances has been found, except a general low score at the Benton test. Substitutive therapy induces a general improvement of the scores, mainly in the patients who did show the lower performances before treatment. Although our results are in agreement with positive action of vasopressin on mnesic function, we cannot ascertained that the observed effect is solely due to a central action of the hormone, since some metabolic consequences of the hormone administration (i.e. relapse of nycturia and consequently of sleep disturbances) could have indirect effects of cognitive function.

D003894 Deamino Arginine Vasopressin A synthetic analog of the pituitary hormone, ARGININE VASOPRESSIN. Its action is mediated by the VASOPRESSIN receptor V2. It has prolonged antidiuretic activity, but little pressor effects. It also modulates levels of circulating FACTOR VIII and VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR.

D003919 Diabetes Insipidus A disease that is characterized by frequent urination, excretion of large amounts of dilute URINE, and excessive THIRST. Etiologies of diabetes insipidus include deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (also known as ADH or VASOPRESSIN) secreted by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS, impaired KIDNEY response to ADH, and impaired hypothalamic regulation of thirst.
