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. A low level results in greater urine production.
Detailed explanation-2: -A hormone that helps blood vessels constrict and helps the kidneys control the amount of water and salt in the body. This helps control blood pressure and the amount of urine that is made. Antidiuretic hormone is made by a part of the brain called the hypothalamus and is secreted into the blood by the pituitary gland.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hormones produced by the posterior pituitary gland include vasopressin and oxytocin. Vasopressin is also referred to as antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and acts on the kidney to conserve water. It is also important for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
