Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -There are two major stimuli for ADH release: elevated plasma osmolality and decreased effective circulating volume. Increased plasma osmolality causes shrinkage of a specialized group of cells in the hypothalamus called osmoreceptors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensors in your body detect when your blood volume changes and needs more ADH. These sensors talk to your brain and the pituitary gland releases ADH into your bloodstream. When ADH makes it to your kidneys, it signals them to conserve water and produce more concentrated urine.
