The vasoconstrictive effect of vasopressin may be mediated by diacylglycerol and inositol trisphosphate produced by phospholipases C and D, and this vasoconstrictive effect of vasopressin is self-modulated by subsequent release of PGI 2. The vasorelaxing effect of propofol may in part be explained by its inhibition of vasopressin-mediated ...
