Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Diabetes insipidus is caused by problems with a chemical called vasopressin (AVP), which is also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH). AVP is produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the pituitary gland until needed. The hypothalamus is an area of the brain that controls mood and appetite.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gestational diabetes Insipidus is caused by an increased concentration of placental vasopressinase, which destroys the mother’s ADH. This leads to large amounts of dilute urine. ADH: antidiuretic hormone; AQP2: aquaporin-2 receptors; PKA: protein kinase A.
Detailed explanation-3: -Posterior lobe of the pituitary in diabetes insipidus: MR findings.
