Abstract:
Vasopressin is a highly conserved peptide hormone that has been traditionally associated with water homeostasis. There is accumulating evidence in both humans and animal models that vasopressin is implicated in the regulation of metabolism. This review focuses on the effects that vasopressin exerts on the regulation of glucose and fatty acids with a particular emphasis on the potential repercussions of metabolic dysregulation in kidney disease.

Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, catecholamines that enhance and extend the sympathetic or "fight or flight" physiological response. These hormones escalate heart rate and the force of contraction...
