Abstract
Endolymphatic hydrops, a pathological feature of Ménière's disease, has been experimentally and clinically confirmed to be influenced by the blood circulation of vasopressin (VP). VP is a well-known hormonal regulator of water homeostasis. In addition, VP is influenced by various environmental changes, dehydration, fluctuation of atmospheric pressure, pregnancy, and other factors. Furthermore, VP is a key regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is a major neuroendocrine system that controls reactions to emotional and physical stresses, as well as the sleep/wake cycle (circadian rhythm). Therefore, VP is susceptible to change via the HPA axis.
This review considers possible mechanisms of the formation of endolymphatic hydrops from the perspective of the vasopressin-aquaporin 2 system.
期刊介绍:
The international journal Auris Nasus Larynx provides the opportunity for rapid, carefully reviewed publications concerning the fundamental and clinical aspects of otorhinolaryngology and related fields. This includes otology, neurotology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, allergology, head and neck medicine and oncologic surgery, maxillofacial and plastic surgery, audiology, speech science.
Original papers, short communications and original case reports can be submitted. Reviews on recent developments are invited regularly and Letters to the Editor commenting on papers or any aspect of Auris Nasus Larynx are welcomed.
Founded in 1973 and previously published by the Society for Promotion of International Otorhinolaryngology, the journal is now the official English-language journal of the Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Society of Japan, Inc. The aim of its new international Editorial Board is to make Auris Nasus Larynx an international forum for high quality research and clinical sciences.
