Guys produce less oxytocin but vasopressin which bonds us - the signal just dulls if we date a lot

1) 🇸🇪 A Swedish study of 111 ME/CFS patients found reduced levels of vasopressin, a hormone that regulates water retention.
Low vasopressin could lead to low blood volume and some of the orthostatic symptoms that ME/CFS patients report.

Why does drinking alcohol make you dehydrated? 🍸💧
Alcohol suppresses vasopressin, a hormone that helps kidneys reabsorb water via aquaporins, so you lose more fluid as urine, causing that familiar dehydrated feeling

4) With such imbalance, one would expect vasopressin to be increased. It's produced by neurons in the hypothalamus in response to increase plasma osmalility. The receptors are highly sensitive: only a slight rise, should lead to an increase in vasopressin.

Our findings suggest that deficiency of vasopressin secretion is a fundamental measurable part of the disease mechanisms, which may underlie a number of symptoms in ME/CFS, including the common complaint of orthostatic intolerance.

Nå det har att göra med aquaporinerna och vasopressinet. Aquaporin är portar i lipidcellmembranet som gör att vattenmolekyler kan ta sig in i celler. Hormonet vasopressin reglerar hur många de är. Alkohol nedreglerar vasopressin -> färre aquaporinportar -> uttorkning. Så varannan vatten behövs :)

The reason you need to pee more when drinking is because alcohol inhibits vasopressin. Like all hormones, vasopressin has a lot of roles. One thing it does (under normal circumstances) is prevent your kidneys from sending urine to the bladder(1/4)
