TL;DR
These data confirm and extend the possibility that elevated cerebrospinal fluid vasopressin may be related to the pathophysiology of eating disorders, and/or a lifetime history of major depression.

In a study involving four raters and 40 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder at various stages of treatment, interrater reliability for the total Yale-Brown Scale score and each of the 10 individual items was excellent, with high degree of internal consistency among all item scores demonstrated with Cronbach's alpha coefficient.

This monumental two-volume set is a continuation of the three editions of Sex and Internal Secretions, containing 2633 pages and prepared by 99 leading authorities who provided more than 25 000 references, is destined to become the standard reference in reproductive physiology, endocrinology, and reproductive behavior.

Examination of the postreatment factor scores showed that the Y-BOCS resistance items did not assess OCD symptom change as sensitively as the rest of the Y, Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale items did.
Physiology & BehaviorAn Anxiolytic Action of Oxytocin is Enhanced by Estrogen in the Mouse
326 Citations1996Margaret M. McCarthy, CHRISTELLE H MCDONALD +2 more
Data indicate that OT exerts an anxiolytic action that is enhanced in the presence of circulating estrogen, and this behavioral effect may be mediated by estrogen-induced increases in OT binding density in the lateral septum and may be important to the facilitation of social interactions.

The hypothesis that specific OT receptors within the central nervous system participate in the inhibition of feeding under certain conditions in rats is supported.

Persistent serotonergic and behavioral abnormalities after recovery raise the possibility that these psychobiological alterations might be trait-related and contribute to the pathogenesis of BN.

208 Citations1994James F. Leckman
These findings reinforce the value of family genetic data in identifying biologically homogeneous (and perhaps more etiologically homogeneous) groups of patients with OCD and argue strongly for the incorporation of tic-relatedness as a variable in biological and behavioral studies of patientsWith OCD.

Most if not all patients with anorexia nervosa have abnormal levels of arginine vasopressin in their plasma and cerebrospinal fluid that are corrected very slowly with weight gain.

Since administration of neither AVP nor the V1 antagonist significantly influenced general locomotor activity of the rats on the plus-maze and in an open field, these data point towards a critical involvement of intraseptally released AVP in the emotional evaluation of novel situations.

Brain oxytocin receptors are described in the brain and their regulation by gonadal steroids is examined, remarkable for their plasticity and for striking species differences in their distribution.

The authors report that the mean CSF oxytocin level of five underweight women with restricting anorexia, but not 12 underweight bulimic anorexic women or 35 normal- Weight women with bulimia nervosa, was significantly lower than the level of 11 control subjects.

Among patients with psychiatric disorders, CSF vasopressin was increased in manic patients, while in patients with depression CSF concentration of this hormone did not differ from that found in controls, however, an increase inCSF vasOPressin level was found in patients recovering from a depression.

Criteria for anorexia nervosa (AN), BN and binge eating disorder (BED) are systematically described and the subclassification of binge/purge and restricter subgroups endorses previous research findings.

85 Citations1994Margaret Altemus
Neuropeptide results coupled with evidence that central administration of corticotropin-releasing hormone, vasopressin, and somatostatin to laboratory animals increases arousal and acquisition of conditioned behaviors are consistent with a role for these neuropeptides in the pathophysiologic processes and pharmacologic treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

These results do not support a prior finding of elevated CSF oxytocin in OCD patients and do not provide any evidence for an abnormality of NPY regulation in OCD.

CSF-AVP concentrations were significantly lowered in both endogenous and non-endogenous depression; no correlation with CSF -A or -NA was seen and neither did any difference between plasma levels of AVP, plasma-osmolality or CSF-OSmolality appear among the groups investigated.

Significant results included increased CSF concentrations of MHPG in the premenstrual, as compared with the midcycle, phase of the cycle, and increased plasma cortisol concentrations during the mid cycle phase.

It is concluded that patients with bulimia nervosa have abnormal levels of vasopressin in their plasma and cerebrospinal fluid during abstinence from binge eating and purging, which may aggravate the maintenance of adequate fluid volume in these patients.

It is suggested that both age and sex affect levels of vasopressin in CSF, and the rhythm was more pronounced in young than in aged rats of both sexes.

While neuropeptide disturbances do not appear to be a permanent feature or cause or anorexia nervosa, these disturbances are strongly entrenched, and are not easily corrected by improved nutrition or short-term weight normalization.

In the rats, the lack of central VP synthesis disturbs both the selection of diets and the efficiency of the satiety signals, which were unchanged by the peripheral VP treatment which suggested the direct involvement of the central release of the neuropeptide.
