Gender-specific co-activation of arginine vasopressin and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis during stress.
To study the interaction between copeptin and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) activation in men and women during hypoglycaemic stress. ⋯ The data from this study indicate that stress-induced release of AVP in women, but not in men, is linked to the co-activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system.
