Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Antidiuretic hormone is made by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus and is secreted into the blood by the pituitary gland. Certain types of tumors may release high amounts of antidiuretic hormone, which can cause low levels of sodium in the blood and the body to retain water.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -ADH, also called vasopressin, is synthesized by the neurons in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary until released upon neural stimulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
