Vasopressin hormone crystals, LM C016 / 8551
Vasopressin hormone crystals, light micrograph taken with polarised light. Vasopressin is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals, controlling the reabsorption of water molecules in the kidney tubules. Also it constricts blood vessels, raises blood pressure, and reduces excretion of urine. Also called antidiuretic hormone. Object-size across: 3 mm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Vasopressin hormone crystals, captured under a light microscope using polarised light. These crystals, with an object-size measuring 3 mm across, represent the fascinating world of biochemistry and endocrine function. Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a vital neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals. Its primary role involves regulating water reabsorption in kidney tubules, ensuring proper hydration levels within the body. Additionally, this remarkable hormone constricts blood vessels and elevates blood pressure while reducing urine excretion. The image reveals the mesmerizing structure of these hormonal crystals, resembling delicate works of art at a microscopic level. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns displayed by these polypeptide formations are truly awe-inspiring. Through this photograph's lens, we gain insight into the complex mechanisms that govern our physiological processes. It serves as a visual reminder of how nature's building blocks can manifest themselves in stunning forms even at such minuscule scales. Credit goes to PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY for capturing this extraordinary glimpse into biochemical matter and shedding light on the wonders hidden within our bodies' hormonal systems.
