HPLC techniques were used to identify peptides that possess vasopressin-like immunoreactivity in the chicken neurohypophysis. The presence of arginine vasotocin (AVT) was confirmed together with arginine vasopressin (AVP). That the presence of AVP may be confined to the chicken, and not other avian species, was concluded from the absence of the hormone in the neurohypophysis of the duck and turkey. The chicken thus resembles some members of the suiformes and metatheria in possessing two vasopressin-like peptides.
采用高效液相色谱（HPLC）技术鉴定鸡神经垂体中具有血管加压素样免疫反应性的肽段。证实了精氨酸催产素（AVT）和精氨酸加压素（AVP）的存在。由于在鸭和火鸡的神经垂体中未检测到该激素，因此得出结论，AVP可能仅存在于鸡中，而不存在于其他鸟类中。因此，鸡在拥有两种血管加压素样肽这一点上与猪形亚目和有袋亚纲的一些成员相似。
