What Does AVT Stand For?
AVT stands for Arginine Vasotocin
AVT, or Arginine Vasotocin, is a neuropeptide hormone that plays a crucial role in osmoregulation and social behaviors in various vertebrate species. It is involved in regulating water retention, blood pressure, and responses to stress. AVT is structurally related to vasopressin and is found predominantly in non-mammalian species, where it influences reproductive and social behaviors, among other physiological functions.
