The effect of modified forms of vasopressin (MFV) that do not possess hormonal activity on homeostasis in rats was studied. One of the major effects of vasopressin (AVP) and its analogs on the blood clotting system, changes in fibrinolytic activity (FA) and the activity of plasminogen activator (APA), depends on modifications of the amino acid sequence in the peptide molecule. The presence of glycinamide in the AVP molecule enhances FA and APA. AVP molecules without the glycinamide group exert a more marked influence on procoagulant activity in blood.
