Detailed explanation-1: -ADH enables the kidneys to retain water in the body. The hormone is produced in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is stored and released from the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain. When diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of ADH, it is called central diabetes insipidus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is a chemical produced in the brain that causes the kidneys to release less water, decreasing the amount of urine produced. A high ADH level causes the body to produce less urine.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone) acting at V2 receptors enhances water reabsorption by increasing aquaporin-2 channels in the renal collecting duct.
Detailed explanation-4: -Anti-diuretic hormone acts to maintain blood pressure, blood volume and tissue water content by controlling the amount of water and hence the concentration of urine excreted by the kidney.
Detailed explanation-5: -It acts on the kidneys and the blood vessels and functions to control the blood pressure. It allows the water in the urine to be taken back in a specific area in the kidney and thus, reduces the amount of water excreted through the urine thereby conserving the volume of the fluid in the body.
