Detailed explanation-1: -ADH is a substance produced naturally in an area of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then released by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain.

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. A low level results in greater urine production.

Detailed explanation-3: -ADH, which stands for antidiuretic hormone, is a hormone also called vasopressin. This hormone controls the reabsorption of water by the kidneys to maintain our blood pressure. ADH is not released by the anterior pituitary gland but by the posterior lobe of the gland.

Detailed explanation-4: -The synthesis of ADH occurs in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei in the hypothalamus. It is then transported to the posterior pituitary gland via the neurohypophysial capillaries.
